Pepper vs.
Cut+Dry

We know that choosing an eCommerce or order automation provider is an important step for independent distributors.

Pepper increases order sizes and saves more time for busy sales reps than any other provider in the space.

Here are just a few of the reasons that we believe Pepper is a great alternative to Cut & Dry for independent distributor eCommerce software.

The largest network of independent food distributors use Pepper to boost basket size and strengthen customer relationships

Pepper

Cut+Dry

Cut & Dry’s web-based platform can operate on mobile devices, but lack mobile-native functionality such as push notifications

Marketplace
Approach

Can your products be seen alongside other vendors?

Successful eComm has to work with many systems

Pepper

Pepper has integrated with over 50 ERP systems, with over a dozen successful installations of NECS, Produce Pro, Quickbooks, AS400, and many other operations

Cut+Dry

Cut & Dry’s limited integration experience means that many customers aren’t live for months to years after signing

Sales Rep Tools

Your go-to-market platform should empower your sales team

Pepper

DSR Connect allows reps to edit prices, prospect in any market, and keep up with alerts and opportunities for all of their clients

Cut+Dry

Cut & Dry’s rep tooling is prone to error, leaving users with costly pricing errors and prospecting features that may not work in every market

Product Content

Buyers want products with pictures and descriptions

Pepper

SALT is a dedicated product library with over 18 million attributes, supported by a team that work on product content, brand outreach & AI catalog mapping for dynamic content

Cut+Dry

Cut & Dry’s product library has roughly 5-6 million attributes

Team

Products are only as good as the teams that support them

Pepper

All Pepper engineers, implementation teams, and leadership are based in North America, with the majority based in the United States

Third-party and offshore development teams make for development that lacks usability and a distributor-driven approach

The largest network of independent food distributors use Pepper to boost basket size and strengthen customer relationships

“To this day - I have had not one complaint about our app. I hear our customers say that it's better than Sysco and some of the other big broad-liners. It's a testament to you guys on how well your product is - I love Pepper.”

Scott Davis, COO Mr. Greens

“Pepper’s promo tool drives more sales, creates an opportunity for more marketing money from vendors, and surfaces new items to our customers. The success of the campaign was an eye-opener to the effectiveness of digital promotions over our traditional methods.”

Mary Laddusaw, Director of Sales for Henry’s Foods

“It is truly refreshing to find a product that is actually designed for our line of business, that does everything we could have wished for, is user friendly, and isn’t just patchwork over an existing ERP that was designed for a different business need and somehow made to work.”

Aaron Bloom, Bermuda General Agency
