Embracing the Gap
The food and beverage industry was missing a streamlined platform for searching and connecting with manufactures and ingredient suppliers. Most available resources were either non-user-friendly directories or paywalled platforms, leaving a significant gap in the market.
Surprisingly, no modern, well-designed (or well known) tool existed to facilitate these essential B2B connections, despite the evident high demand for such services.

Searching for Success
At Pick Your Packer, we aim to fortify and innovate food systems, starting with search.
We are on a journey to establish ourselves as a trusted, globally recognized platform in the B2B space by creating the first unified resource for all the various players in the industry.
For the first time, contract manufacturers, raw materials suppliers, logistics, commercial kitchens, lab testing companies, and more have a place to call home.
At PYP, our mission is to empower F&B businesses and their supply streams to become more resilient, accessible, and localized.

Hi-Tech, Low Touch
While working with thousands of manufacturers, suppliers, and brands, to establish this platform, many anticipated a commission-based pricing model. However, given the incredibly diverse variety of offerings, we felt a straightforward flat-rate subscription model was the most practical approach.
In a marketplace overwhelmed by the competition for Google Ad Words, we are thrilled to provide an accessible, specialized alternative specifically tailored for the B2B F&B sector. Not only this, we designed this platform to send inquiries directly to the points of contact themselves removing any middlemen or third party interactions from the connections made through PYP.
This platform is built on the belief that connecting with other F&B businesses should be enjoyable. Designed with this goal in mind, we are excited to further develop PYP with insights from professionals like you through our public roadmap. As we prepare to launch our AI-enhanced search, we are excited to introduce the most powerful, user-friendly platform available.
At the heart of our strategy is a dedicated focus on user experience, design, and efficiency. Recognizing that the trillion-dollar F&B industry primarily operates on word-of-mouth, we seek to complement, not replace, this dynamic by building a platform that values the human element in every business interaction.

Unified Search
We will be moving away from our tab system and integrating a unified search bar. This will allow users to search our entire database with every query, making the discovery process more efficient and delivering an enhanced user experience.

New RFQ Design + Functionality
Currently, there is only one general request form. This winter we will be launching multiple types of messages based on Ingredients, Packaging and Manufacturing, with Lab Testing, Logistics and more coming shortly after.
The goal is not only allow users to communicate with potential partners more effectively and to allow our Partners to receive more fine-tuned leads containing more vital information up front.
