Park Food Group

Summary

At Park Food, I managed a team of 12 developers to meet the application and information needs of a group of Direct Marketing Food Retailing companies. The principal activity was Christmas hamper retailing with home delivery, so the timing of marketing activities and successful order fulfilment were particularly critical to the business.
