iTradeNetwork Introduces OrderMaestro — The Food Industry’s Best-In-Class E-Commerce Platform That Gives Foodservice Distributors a Competitive Advantage

iTradeNetwork

iTradeNetwork, the food and beverage industry’s largest network with over 8,000 food and beverage trading partners, is proud to announce the launch of OrderMaestro for distributors — a mobile e-commerce solution that automates and streamlines the ordering process for their customers. OrderMaestro enables distributors to create powerful loyalty programs, easily promote specific products, increase sales opportunities and deliver a best-in-class mobile ordering experience that customers love. Over the last 18 months, distributors have had to evaluate business operations to survive in an ever-changing foodservice climate. Small and independent restaurants have closed their doors for good, forcing distributors to pivot to find new customers and explore different channels for revenue. Meanwhile, COVID-19 has accelerated digital transformation and technology adoption by three to four years 1, pressuring distributors to quickly adapt to new technologies to meet customer needs. Customers are expecting more — and faster — than ever before. In order to compete with the thousands of distributors on the market, they need to deliver a seamless mobile ordering experience that will attract customers — and keep them coming back. Introducing OrderMaestro OrderMaestro is a branded e-commerce platform that catapults distributors into the digital age and allows them to do more with less. iTradeNetwork designed OrderMaestro to offer a personalized experience for customers. Distributors will not only grow sales revenue, but they will also provide an intuitive and scalable ordering experience for their customers. This best-in-class solution provides clear order guides across units, auto-generates orders from past purchases and offers configurable workflows to streamline purchase order (PO) approvals — but that scratches the surface of what OrderMaestro is capable of doing: Create Powerful Loyalty Programs That Attract and Engage Customers: Build a loyal customer base and increase revenue with in-app promotions. With OrderMaestro, distributors can create loyalty programs, drive volume to specific products, get rid of excess inventory quickly, run holiday and seasonal promotions and more. Gift Your Customers with Effortless Onboarding in an Easy-to-Use Mobile App: With widespread labor shortages, onboarding and ease-of-use is top of mind for distributors and their customers. OrderMaestro is simple to manage and requires no formal training — customers can submit POs from their mobile devices in minutes. 3-Touch “Scan-To-Search'' Smart Barcode Scanning: Now, customers can place an order or take inventory in as little as three taps. OrderMaestro’s barcode scanning and voice recognition functionality allow users to auto-populate product information right from their mobile devices. Collaborate In Real-Time and Increase Customer Satisfaction: With alerts, distributors can notify their customers about when to expect delays based on weather conditions, changes in account cut-off times and more. Gain Visibility into Customer Purchases, So You Can Grow Your Business: With barcode scanning and voice recognition technology, collect rich, comprehensive data on the products customers are purchasing from other suppliers. “In a very competitive foodservice distribution market, OrderMaestro is the key to differentiating yourself,” said Wills McMahon, senior product manager at iTradeNetwork. “Distributors will be able to increase sales through our in-app promotions while delivering a best-in-class mobile ordering solution to their customers. It’s a win-win.” The OrderMaestro mobile app is currently available for foodservice distributors on the Apple and Android app stores.

Altais Launches New Multi-Specialty Independent Medical Practice in Riverside, CA

Altais

Healthcare services company Altais today announced the launch of a state-of-the-art multi-specialty medical group in Riverside, California. The new Altais Medical Group Riverside will provide a wide range of specialties from primary care and obstetrics and gynecology to interventional cardiology for community members in Riverside County beginning in February 2022. The nearly 11,000-square-foot facility is located at 4646 Brockton Ave, Riverside CA 92506. Leading up to the official opening of Altais Medical Group Riverside’s offices, prospective patients and others can visit www.amgriverside.com for more information. Visitors can also sign up online to receive important news and updates about the group via email or text, including when they can register as a new patient and schedule an appointment with a physician. The new Altais Medical Group Riverside is founded on a patient-centric model of care and provides comprehensive primary and specialty care. Services provided include everything from routine check-ups to specialized cardiac, obstetric, gynecologic, urologic and gastroenterological care. “The doctors and our healthcare teams at Altais Medical Group Riverside are all seasoned professionals with a deep commitment to serving the Riverside community,” said Rodolfo Saenz, M.D., an obstetrician / gynecologist at the new Riverside office. “Altais Medical Group Riverside patients will benefit from having multiple specialists under one roof. At the same time, we are fully committed to collaborating closely with the referral and hospital network already in place here in the Inland Empire. We are confident that new patients will appreciate the quality of care and patient-centric approach we provide.” Altais is a healthcare services company creating business models and integrated, scalable technology solutions that enhance the patient experience, improve health outcomes, reduce cost, and drive professional gratification among physicians. Altais invests directly in physician practices, clinics and related business models. In 2020, Brown & Toland Physicians, a network of more than 2,700 independent physicians in the San Francisco Bay Area, joined the Altais family of companies. Los Angeles’ Family Care Specialists, one of the largest community-based and Latinx-led private medical groups in California, joined Altais in December 2021. Altais also has two independent primary care clinics serving essential civic employees and educators in the Monterey-Salinas market. Recent studies show the greater Riverside community may have a deficit of up to 1,000 physicians to serve a growing Riverside County population of well over 2 million residents. Altais Medical Group Riverside aims to address that shortage by providing a new model of independent practice that, in time, can serve to attract more healthcare professionals to the region. “Altais is proud to launch this new medical practice group in Riverside County,” said Jeff Bailet, M.D., president and chief executive officer for Altais. “Over the past decade, the healthcare field generally and the Riverside community in particular – has experienced unprecedented levels of physician burnout and early retirements. Independent physicians have been overwhelmed by the administrative demands of maintaining their practices. Altais’ mission is to focus on reversing that trend and provide independent physicians with the business practices and technologies that help them not just endure but thrive during this difficult period and beyond. We are excited to bring that vision of medical practice vibrancy to reality in Riverside.” * * * ABOUT ALTAIS Altais is a healthcare services company that helps physicians and the clinical community maximize the health and well-being of their patients in an affordable and sustainable way. Altais has two divisions. Altais Clinical Services offers a range of affiliation and employment models for physicians and high-quality, affordable care for patients. Altais Health offers a broad platform of clinical support tools and technology, along with high-touch support. Ultimately, Altais seeks to enhance the vibrancy of physician practice and strengthen the heart of medicine – physicians connecting with patients and providing personalized, high-quality care.
