Secret Ingredients in Specialty Food Distributor A Priori’s Rapid Rise: Utah’s Tony Caputo’s Roots

A Priori Specialty Foods serves four Tony Caputo’s retail food markets, and other specialty food retailers, national brands, chefs, bars, and restaurants. Previously, A Priori operated on QuickBooks, which made it difficult to track metrics for its different entities and trace its income streams. Lacking the operational tools needed, employees created spreadsheets and used other software as workarounds to analyze performance.

With Acumatica, A Priori’s executives gained insights to make better decisions across their varied businesses and automated processes saved time. Understanding what was in stock and what needed to be reordered made A Priori more efficient. Automated workflows improved pick, pack, and ship processes in the warehouses. Integrating the A Priori webstore with Acumatica, helped with creating a dealer network to better facilitate wholesale sales.
