Award-Winning Meat Distributor Selects Superior Service and Functionality
CHICAGO – August 19, 2009 – Software developer Ai2 announced the addition of Fraboni Wholesale Distributors of Hibbing, MN, to its customer base. Fraboni will implement Ai2’s notebook order entry solution, OrderWriter®, for their sales representatives to generate orders in the field.
Fraboni chose Ai2 for its relationship with host software provider NDS and for its superior application functionality. Fraboni decided to abandon its previous provider after that company offered a less-than-satisfactory migration path to a more advanced solution.
“It’s great to have Fraboni aboard,” said Ray Walsh, Vice President of Sales for Ai2. “I know they’re going to get exactly what they want from our software and our ongoing development and support.”
OrderWriter® is a comprehensive application widely used in the foodservice industry that allows a mobile sales representative to handle orders, returns, accounting information, menu planning, margin management and more. OrderWriter® runs on Windows on almost any notebook or pen tablet PC, and can communicate via dial-up modem, wireless modem, or Internet connection.
L.G. Fraboni Sausage, Inc. and Fraboni Wholesale Distributors, Inc. are two companies that grew from a small garage-based sausage making enterprise started by Leo Fraboni and his wife Irene in October of 1968. Today the "Sausage Company" manufactures a wide variety of meat products including Porketta Sausage, the "Best New Taste" of the 2000 Minnesota State Fair. The wholesale company was spun off in 1995 and has developed under the guidance of brothers Mark and Wayne Thune into a full-line foodservice distributor serving northeastern Minnesota. Both companies are located in Hibbing, Minnesota, and together employ about 30 people. For more on both companies, visit www.frabonis.com.
