Thomas Ridley has adopted Podfather logistics software into its operations, with real-time tracking, electronic proof of delivery, and reporting reducing its paper consumption by half.
The foodservice wholesaler delivers more than 8,000 products to schools and care homes, football clubs and pubs, farm shops and fine-dining establishments from its fleet of temperature-controlled vehicles.

Before implementing Podfather, the wholesaler relied on manual processes supported by paper documents. Making around 460 deliveries a day, this resulted in the use of more than half a million sheets of paper per year.
“Podfather has supported us at every step of the journey to ensure that the solution we needed was the solution they provided,” commented Chris Davies, assistant transport manager at Thomas Ridley Foodservice. “As we have evolved and had to respond to changing market pressures, so have they, and I can confidently say that Podfather is here to stay—helping us live up to our pledge to ‘deliver food for life.’”
