The partnership saw Foodmate’s worldwide sales of Cut-Up Systems grow at an unprecedented rate because of its innovative approach and rapid delivery of radical new solutions to the market, according to a press release from Foodmate.
Foodmate’s dedication to innovation, research and development coupled with Computerway Business Solutions’ proven track record in producing customer-focused software solutions has strengthened both companies, the press release stated. This logical progression to an even closer working relationship will allow both companies to realize their long-term goals of growth and innovation.
