But when the data is always late, inconsistent, or missing entirely, the natural instinct is to blame one thing: Training. “It’s because they don’t follow process.” “They need to be trained again.” “They’re not disciplined with reporting.” But what if the problem isn’t the…

It’s a belief that’s been passed down in the food distribution world: “If you want to scale, you need more people.” More outlets? Add more coordinators. More orders? Hire more dispatch staff. Bigger regions? Set up more phone lines and manual checks. But here’s the truth no one talks about— You’re not scaling complexity. You’re…
