ArrowStream, Inc. ("ArrowStream"), the leading end-to-end supply chain visibility platform for the foodservice industry, announced its inaugural re:Supply Innovation Awards program and shortlist of nominees for its highly anticipated executive summit. The invite-only re:Supply Innovation Summit will be held on July 28, 2022, in Chicago and will provide attendees with the opportunity to explore and discuss a number of topics pertinent to the foodservice supply chain industry while the awards will highlight the most innovative and influential companies in the industry.
"The pace of innovation within the foodservice supply chain is accelerating, and we're committed to being a forum to exchange best practices within this industry.
