Frequently Asked Questions

DPG Foodservice Product Brochure

What information can I have on the DPG?

Really, sky’s the limit. We customize each digital product guide for each brand’s sales force’s unique selling needs.

How do we protect certain proprietary product information from competitors?

We recommend putting the product information behind a log-in so only authorized users can access the information. We also recommend creating a “deactivation system” so that we can protect the information when there is sales staff turnover. We can also create a pared down, front facing version for operators and the industry.

How long will it take to complete?

Once we receive the information, on average, we can deliver the product:

• 50 SKUs or less takes between 5-6 weeks
• 150 SKUs or less takes between 13-14 weeks
• Anything above 150 SKUs, we would custom quote

What is your pricing?

Because these are customized products, the pricing varies based on the number of SKUs, number of distributors, information you need displayed, etc. Please contact us at info@retrievers-suite.com

DLU Foodservice Product Locator

How do we protect selected highly-valuable distributors from competitors?

Simple! We can filter the information so that less sensitive information is available to operators and the industry (competitors) and have a more robust, password protected information stream for your sales / broker staff.

How long will it take to complete?

Once we receive the information, on average, we can deliver the product:

• 50 SKUs or less takes between 2-3 weeks
• 150 SKUs or less takes between 6-7 weeks
• Anything above 150 SKUs, we would custom quote

What is your pricing?

Because these are customized products, the pricing varies based on the number of SKUs, number of distributors, information you need displayed, etc. Please contact us at info@retrievers-suite.com
