MiO Joins Industry Leaders to Boost Support for Wholesalers
MiO is excited to announce its membership in two influential U.S. trade associations. This strategic move aims at bolstering its support for a wide-ranging clientele that includes wholesalers, retailers, and convenience stores.
Membership in NAW and CDA
Through its new membership with the National Association of Wholesale Distributors (NAW) and the Convenience Distribution Association (CDA), MiO seeks to empower businesses with enhanced mobile ordering solutions. These associations collectively represent the vast U.S. wholesale distribution industry, valued at an impressive $8.2 trillion, and the convenience product market, which exceeds $102 billion. This collaboration aligns with MiO's mission to help clients engage more effectively with their ordering systems, inventory, and sales analytics.
Expanding Business Opportunities
Jennifer Grenz, CEO of MiO, emphasized the breadth of their clientele, which encompasses brands and manufacturers across a plethora of industries, from grocery to automotive supplies. "By joining NAW and CDA, we can streamline mobile ordering processes and unlock new revenue streams for our clients," she stated. The opportunity for MiO to contribute to industry conversations, attend executive events, and learn from other leaders ensures the development of a robust and practical platform that meets the users’ needs.
Networking and Knowledge Sharing
Being part of NAW will enable MiO to amplify awareness regarding mobile ordering efficiencies. This platform will serve as an avenue for educating businesses on the ease of integrating complex data systems and forming strategic partnerships within the industry. NAW’s membership comprises over 35,000 businesses employing 5 million workers in nearly 150,000 locations nationwide.
Support from NAW and CDA
Cameron C. Russell, Director of Strategic Partnerships at NAW, expressed enthusiasm about MiO joining their community and the shared growth potential. On the flip side, CDA will provide MiO access to exclusive industry reports and resources, keeping them informed about the latest trends within the convenience and food service sectors. Such insights are invaluable for fortifying MiO's service offerings.
Long-standing Commitment to Innovation
MiO, which originally began as Mobisoft, has spent over a decade refining its software for the wholesale market. Joining forces with NAW is seen as a pivotal step towards delivering even greater value to its existing clients while also catering to new business endeavors across various sectors. Grenz highlighted that the affiliations with NAW and CDA signify MiO's commitment to innovation and growth.
