Pepper is proud to announce a new partnership with Essendant, bringing best-in-class product content for over 32,000 items and helping JanSan and foodservice distributors deliver a stronger, more competitive digital experience.

Distributors need high-quality product information that helps customers make quick, confident purchasing decisions but often have to make do with incomplete or fragmented data. Essendant plays a critical role in this ecosystem, connecting distributors to a robust product content library, a powerful national distribution network, and dependable fulfillment capabilities.

One of the key advantages for distributors who partner with Essendant is the ability to access a broad assortment of products without the burden of high manufacturer minimum order quantities (MOQs). This flexibility allows distributors to offer a wider range of products, better manage inventory, and respond more quickly to customer needs without tying up capital in large bulk purchases. Through Essendant, distributors and their customers benefit from access to trusted, industry-leading brands that enable them to maintain clean, safe, and compliant environments from back-of-house sanitation to front-of-house hygiene.

Through this partnership, Pepper enhances and standardizes Essendant product content at scale, ensuring distributors have:

• Complete, accurate product data to support fast, informed ordering
• Improved search and discoverability across ecommerce platforms
• Rich, consistent content that builds trust with operators
• Higher conversion rates and sales by reducing friction in the buying process

For distributors, this means less time managing incomplete or inconsistent product information—and more time focusing on serving customers and growing the business.

Together, Pepper and Essendant are helping distributors streamline their operations and meet the expectations of today’s modern buyers, delivering a seamless, digital-first experience that drives continued growth.
