ABOUT ACCREDITED DISTRIBUTORS

In the mid 1970’s the Booth family operated a modest grocery store in Gladstone Road Dandenong which was capably run by Vic and Glad assisted by two of their sons Terry and in a short time later John.

During this period the family noticed a gap in the route trade and soon began calling on retail customers offering a range of confectionery products. Very soon they realised their future was in confectionery distribution rather than grocery stores and Terry and Vics was born.

Over the next 20 years Terry & Vic’s soon became Terry & Vic Honig with the amalgamation with AG Honig along with a move to their current location at 33 Brooklyn Ave Dandenong.

During the ninties the company aquired the business of Graeme (Doc) Tolliday, our sales director along with that of GV Sweets, JL Ryan and more recently Harrison Confectionery.

Craig Bain, our managing director was welcomed on board in the late 1990’s and with his Cadbury background has completed another piece of our management jigsaw.

Early in 2003 saw Danny Verdun Ex Cadbury and JNH join us as National Key Accounts executive and will put his many years of experience to good use within the company.

July 2003 sees our next big milestone, our move to our new premises at 2 Nathan Road Dandenong.

With a combination of state of the art gravity fed shelving and our barcode scanning system we offer Our customers the best service in stock rotation and order picking accuracy.

August 2003 will see the implementation of our latest Technology. All our area managers will have symbol pocket pc's. These units have been specifically Programmed for our company. All customer and product details are loaded into the unit. From this unit Our area managers can take an order by scanning a barcode , product search , customer history or by using our own Code number. The unit also informs the area manager of the last 6 dates that a product was purchased by a customer which can help customers with stock control. Once the order is complete the customer can be given the order total for help with their cash flow projections. From there this is where our technology really takes over , our area manager hits send on his unit and within 30 seconds the order is sent through the mobile GSM phone that is built into the unit and is in our system ready to be picked by our RF scanning units.

So this gives us a paperless trail from order to invoice. Along with our website we believe this shows to You "our customer" the commitment we have to being at the forefront of technology and customer service.
