NECS, Inc. began in 1987 with the mission to produce top-quality software for food distributors. understands your needs.

Your foodservice distribution operation provides you with challenges every day. Staying profitable while providing your customers with exceptional service is your goal; NECS, Inc. We've been developing — and constantly improving — our software for the fast-paced world of food distributors for over 30 years. In 1987, NECS’ President and original software developer, Chris Anatra, had determined that

the market was severely lacking in specialized software to address the needs of wholesale food distributors — especially those dealing with meat, seafood, produce, cheese — as well as full-line distributors. In NECS’ formative years, the computer industry was beginning its move from large mainframe and mini computer systems to the more economical personal computer. Chris saw the opportunity to design a system based on the new networking technologies available at the time; adapting to this technology early helped NECS become an industry leader, providing comprehensive, user-friendly software at an economical price.

👋 Have you reserved your seat yet?

This is your final opportunity to register for our NECS In-House Training, taking place July 22–24 at our headquarters in Branford, Connecticut.

While you’ll spend three days learning how to get more out of the entrée platform, one of the biggest takeaways from every class is something that can’t be taught from a manual—the opportunity to connect with fellow NECS customers.

Our attendees consistently tell us that the conversations they have with other distributors are just as valuable as the training itself. You’ll exchange ideas, discuss everyday challenges, discover new ways to streamline operations, and learn how others are using entrée to improve their businesses. It’s a unique opportunity to build relationships with people who face many of the same challenges you do.

📌 Training Details

Dates: July 22–24, 2026
Location: NECS Headquarters, Branford, CT
Cost: $275 per person (includes all three days of training, light breakfast, lunch, and refreshments)

Every attendee will also receive a Certificate of Operational Proficiency recognizing their successful completion of the training.

Whether you’ve been using entrée for years or you’re looking to sharpen your skills, this class offers practical knowledge, valuable connections, and ideas you can put to work immediately.

We look forward to seeing you in Branford! ☀️

How much time does your team spend tracking delivery paperwork, resolving customer disputes, processing driver cash receipts, or searching for proof that a delivery occurred?

It’s time for a Proof-of-Delivery System!

One of the reasons entrée.POD has become so popular among distributors is its rapid return on investment.

By reducing paperwork, accelerating cash application, improving delivery accuracy, reducing disputes, and supporting traceability initiatives, many distributors find that POD quickly pays for itself while improving day-to-day operations.

During our July training event, you’ll not only learn valuable entrée tips and best practices, but you’ll also see firsthand how POD integrates with your existing operation to improve efficiency, accuracy, customer service, and visibility.

Our team will walk through real-world scenarios, answer your questions, and demonstrate how distributors are using POD to modernize their delivery process.

When: July 22-24, 2026
Where: Our offices in Branford, CT

Reserve your seat today by emailing [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you in July! ☀️
