“Hiring technical experts to help with supply chain transparency and logistics is difficult
when you don’t even know the questions to ask.” – food entrepreneur

Business process outsourcing enables small- and mid-size businesses to focus on their core competencies. It helps businesses to adapt to changes in the market so that they can remain profitable. This is a companion to cold storage and the information platform.

Madison is already well-served by programs that support entrepreneurial food
businesses. Services related to internal and customer-facing warehouse operations augment and are parallel to processing support at FEED Kitchen.

Logistics support could include personnel that move product within the warehouse facility, like order fulfillment and load consolidation, managing or operating local distribution services to customers withina 50-mile radius, and moving product to regional markets such as Chicago or LaCrosse.
