Other products address quality and distributor service incidents, inbound logistics and freight, commodity forecasting, and manufacturer market insights. Crossbow supports distributor logistics planning and workflows; CommodityONE forecasts prices for more than 200 foodservice products; and SalesStream provides foodservice market data for manufacturers.
