UniPro Foodservice Launches “UniPro Supplier Connect - Powered by Cut+Dry,” to Revolutionize Distributor Product Data Through a Central Product Information System

ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UniPro Foodservice, the nation’s largest foodservice cooperative, today announced the launch of UniPro Supplier Connect, a self-serve product information management (PIM) platform for its distributor Members. Powered by Cut+Dry, UniPro Supplier Connect provides UniPro’s more than 450 distributors with a centralized, authoritative source of product information designed for digital commerce.

For decades, foodservice distributors have relied on static catalogs, PDFs, spreadsheets, and one-time data uploads to manage product information—data that often becomes outdated shortly after it’s published. UniPro Supplier Connect replaces this model with a living, continuously updated system, where product information is maintained at the source by manufacturers and shared across the distributor network.

Supplier Connect functions as the product information layer for the UniPro network, serving as the central source of truth for product content, including images, descriptions, FDA specifications, allergens, nutritionals, attributes, videos, and other rich media. When distributors upload their catalogs, products are matched to a shared product database. Any missing or incomplete information can be enriched directly by manufacturers, ensuring content stays current and consistent across the network.

Built on Cut+Dry’s proven infrastructure, the platform has already processed more than 1.6 million products and is enriching 2,000–3,000 SKUs daily, ensuring distributor catalogs remain current as products, formulations, and assortments change.

Key capabilities for distributors include:

• Access to living product data that is continuously maintained by manufacturers, not static one-time uploads
• Product information that stays accurate over time, reflecting real-world changes to items, formulations, packs, and branding
• Fewer catalog gaps and less manual cleanup as enriched product content is shared across the UniPro network
• Stronger eCommerce performance, with improved search, discovery, ordering accuracy, and operator trust

“This is a big moment for foodservice,” said Luke Wolter, EVP at Cut+Dry. “UniPro is solving a product data challenge and giving its distributor Members a real competitive advantage in a digital-first market.”
