KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Produce consultancy FreshXperts today announced that it will offer consulting services to conference attendees–produce and grocery professionals–from booth number 1484 at the United Fresh and FMI 2014 trade shows, co-located at Chicago’s McCormick Place, June 10-13. First time clients who schedule an appointment in advance are eligible for a free 30-minute initial consultation during the shows.
FreshXperts will be part of the inaugural Expert Consultation Center at United Fresh where, for the first time, consulting firms will have space to meet with current and prospective clients in an exclusive area on the show floor. They will also have access to private meeting rooms for more in-depth consultation.
“United Fresh and FMI have always provided outstanding forums for new ideas,” said Tim Vaux, a partner in FreshXperts. “As part of the Expert Consultation Center, FreshXperts has a special opportunity to help members of the fresh and grocery industries find the inspiration, as well as identify the action steps, to take their businesses to the next level. By participating in the consultation center, FreshXperts will be able to help our current and future clients leave the conferences knowing that that they have a plan in place to help them succeed and a team in their corner to support their success.”
Vaux continued, “The FreshXperts provide full-service advising that integrates seamlessly with our clients’ management teams, lending expertise and manpower without the expenses and long-term commitments of permanent in-house employees.”
The group provides solutions for businesses across the fresh industry, offering expertise to grower-shippers in the areas of operations, marketing, sales and merchandising, governance, strategic planning, supply chain management, organics, e-commerce, and social media, among others.
The FreshXperts team also works with supermarkets to develop merchandising and advertising strategies, lend competency in category development, provide new store and remodel planning, manage gross profit margins, contribute expertise in organics, and provide education related to buying and selling produce.
“Our proven strategies and networks of contacts throughout the supply chain assure our clients of success,” said Vaux. “We have a well-established track record of achieving profitable and sustainable growth for our clients in fresh foods and retail sales, and we invite conference attendees to schedule an appointment to discuss how we can help their businesses.”
