specialty stores along the East Coast of
the Southern United States with a fleet

is realized with the organization twice
a year, Fairs / Food Show dedicated to
the meeting with the chefs, caterers,
catering companies, hotels and grocery
stores, which offer and illustrate the
new products that continually feed the
proposed IGF. Last in order of time was
the Fair / Food Show in Atlanta which
ended with great success.

A reference in the
north of the Marche
Completeness of the set
products with a focus on
meats and cheeses and
careful management of the
client with an extensive
network of agents are the
strengths of Fattorini
Fattorini, the company operates in the
wholesale of food products for over
50 years: in 1963 Fattorini Franco took
over the business of the company where
he worked as an agent in attempted
sale of meats and cheeses. Its range
is concentrated in the province of
Pesaro and Urbino in the neighboring
municipalities. To ensure the quality of
the offer, Fattorini is the historic partner
- for 13 years now - Cooperativa Italian
Catering.
The company has followed all the
developments in the wholesale market
and now is in charge of commercial
catering and collective: restaurants,
hotels, pizzerias, cafeterias, nursing
homes.
All such operators Fattorini can offer
a complete proposal in food (fresh
and frozen meat, frozen seafood, fresh
and preserved food, frozen food and
frozen liquids), as in the non-food.
Strong specialization of its founder,
Fattorini care in particular the field
of cold meats and cheeses, which are
selected and processed according to the
experiences, collaborating with leading
domestic and foreign companies in the
sector. “The quality of the products,
the completeness of the set, the
professionalism of the operators - says
the sales manager Andrea Fattorini -
have created a dynamic set that satisfies
our customers, through our cash & carry
store.”
But it is the service for catering
operators at their premises the strength
of Fattorini. Customer visits occur
weekly through commercial agents. An
effective computerized support improves
the management of the orders: the
operating system SFA-Ergon provides
the official with all the information
needed for the sale as the historian of
the items purchased with quantity and
price paid; information on the amount
of goods in store, with lots of photos
of the items and the list of innovations
in assortment; the situation of invoices
suspended. As well as collector orders,
the software allow you to collect and
record invoices suspended the collection
occurred. During the transmission of
data in business, in fact, the agent can
also forward any collections made.
Every 2 hours from a central office
server automatically sends to the agents
with all the information up to date.
After receiving orders the warehouse
takes over the management for delivery
after the preparation of the goods
ordered, working with the agent for
any abnormalities due to the rate or the
availability of goods. Order processing
takes place within a few hours with
owned vehicles equipped to transport
dual temperature. The delivery service
is tailored to the needs of the individual
restaurateur.
