Company Profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Nourish to Flourish journey began at an industry-wide summit in 2017 with the objective of integrating Global Data Synchronization Network\u00ae (GDSN\u00ae) standards into software utilized by K12 Child Nutrition programs.  As a result of this collaboration with stakeholders, the Nourish to Flourish Database now contains approximately ~200K unique base GTINs used by K-12 programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GDSN Connect<\/mark><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0provides School Nutrition Program Directors and Menu Planners full access and search capability over a large, unified database containing the essential item attributes required to meet regulatory requirements and to qualify for reimbursements for school meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this collaboration, data exchanges are now supported by the six major K-12 software companies, allowing users to electronically publish the items they are using directly in to their local database and managed by existing software.  This significantly expands the reach for our Trading Partners, who can now effectively reach the large K-12 market with current and accurate product data by publishing to the Nourish to Flourish database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example if the use of the value of GDSN integration is demonstrated by the collaboration between inTEAM and Texas Region 10 ESC MRPC.\u00a0\u00a0 Keri Warnick, Program Coordinator for MPRC, has developed and has now implemented a new paradigm,\u00a0 Keri\u2019s effort to streamline K-12 procurement as described in this case study:\u00a0\u00a0Texas Region 10 ESC MRPC Case Study<\/a>.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
