Velosio Announces NetSuite FEDA Data Repository Integration for Restaurant Equipment Supply Industry

Integration Drives Significant Operational Efficiency and Benefits to E-commerce Presence

COLUMBUS, OH — SEPTEMBER 21st, 2022 Velosio, a leading provider of cloud business applications, announced today the release of FEDA Data Repository Integration (FDRI) for Oracle NetSuite. Velosio is a leading NetSuite Solution Provider and an active member of the Foodservice Equipment Distributors Association (FEDA) with clients throughout the U.S., Europe and Canada. FDRI connects FEDA’s new Data Repository, which houses manufacturer and product information, to NetSuite.

Based on its extensive industry knowledge and feedback from its foodservice equipment supplier clients, as well as its experience licensing and implementing NetSuite, Velosio worked closely with FEDA to develop FDRI. The integration provides FES manufacturer and product data directly in NetSuite and continually keeps it up to date. Once a dealer selects the manufacturers they offer to customers, the product data is easily accessible for improved quoting and selling. Available product data includes descriptions, pricing, specifications, images, categories and more.

“We’ve enjoyed a strong relationship with FEDA for four years and have expanded our participation in FEDA programs and events. We believe this new integration gives dealers a valuable set of data at a reasonable price to enable better selling, improved item management and even efficiency in e-commerce operations,” stated Jeff Andrews, Velosio’s NetSuite Practice Director.

“A successful project is more than simply implementing a new accounting and inventory solution. It’s helping identify ways to enable a company to significantly improve operations, eliminate manual work, reduce paper, leverage automation and have a direct line of sight into key areas of the business. NetSuite and our added solutions do just this—and FEDA Data Repository integration is one of many FES features that make optimization possible,” added Andrews.

Hersch Patel, Velosio SVP Client Success, has continued to encourage companies to push for efficiency and automation. “Older systems simply don’t have the features and platform capabilities to automate processes like NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics solutions do. In tight labor markets like we’re in, modern ERP platforms are a major way companies are driving higher productivity and improving the bottom line. Velosio understands the common challenges facing suppliers and distributors and we have decades of experience leveraging technology to drive meaningful improvements in all business functions from marketing and sales, through operations and finance.”
