BFC Software Returns to IFDA Solutions Conference 2026

September 13–15, 2026 | San Antonio, TX | Booth #522

For years, BFC Software has stood shoulder to shoulder with the foodservice distribution industry as a proud Allied member of IFDA. We've watched this industry evolve, adapt, and push forward, and we've built our entire product suite around helping distributors do exactly that. So when it comes to IFDA's Solutions Conference, we don't just attend. We show up.

This year is no different. We'll be hosting a workshop session and set up at Booth #522 on the expo floor, ready to talk warehouse operations, outbound transportation, load planning, and everything in between.

Workshop Session Everyone Will Be Talking About

We're especially excited to host a workshop panel discussion featuring a few IFDA members, and yes, valued BFC customers, sharing what actually separates top-performing warehouses from the rest.

What Top-Performing Warehouses Do Differently: Insights from Industry Benchmarking
Monday, September 14 | 4:00 PM – 4:45 PM | Room 007CD

Give the same resources to two different warehouses and you'll often get two very different results. What separates the ones pulling ahead from the ones stuck treading water? That's exactly what this panel digs into. Our speakers are pulling back the curtain on the benchmarking, analytics, and AI-driven insights fueling real performance gains, drawing on data spanning 50%+ of foodservice distribution case volume.

Meet the panel
  • Will Collins, Chief Executive Officer, BFC Software
  • Steve Dizinno, Vice President of Operations, City Line Distributors
  • Tim Marble, Chief Operating Officer, Latina Boulevard Foods
  • Steve Mays, IT Manager, Southwest Traders, Inc.

Expect practical, no-fluff insights you can apply the moment you're back in your own four walls. Ways to boost productivity, cut costs, and elevate performance with the right tools in your corner.

What We're Showcasing

Food is different.So are we. Stop by Booth #522 for a closer look at our full lineup, including BFC WMS Inbound & Outbound, LoadBuilder & LoadPlanner, WMS Select, and Driver Bid Optimizer, all built for food distribution.

If you're looking to tighten up warehouse operations, improve traceability and productivity, or get smarter about load planning and driver scheduling, this is the place to see it in action.

Why We Keep Coming Back

IFDA Solutions isn't just an event on our calendar. It's a community we've invested in year after year, through the connections we've built, the distributors we've supported, and the countless conversations that have shaped how we build our foodservice distribution software. Our roots in this industry run deep and the Solutions Conference is where we get to reconnect with the members, partners, and staff who make it what it is.

Come Find Us

We've stood shoulder to shoulder with this industry for years, and that doesn't change based on where things stand between us today. Whether we've worked together for years or are just getting acquainted, we see you, we hear you, and we're invested in where you're headed. We'd love to see you at Booth #522. Stop by, say hello, and let's talk about what's next for your operation.

And to our partners and everyone else across the industry, grab a seat for the workshop session, swing by the booth, or do both. Either way, we can't wait to reconnect.

See you in San Antonio.
