DigiTally has achieved the coveted All-Star Food Inventory Management Technology Accreditation from the All-Ireland Business Foundation.

This is an outstanding achievement for DigiTally, which recognises their hard work and dedication to food businesses in Ireland.

Business All-Star accredited companies are defined as; progressive, indigenous Irish businesses which meet the highest standards of verified performance, trust and customer-centricity.

This is an independently verified standard mark for indigenous businesses, based on rigorous selection criteria. The Accreditation is overseen by the prestigious All-Ireland Business Foundation, whose adjudication panel is chaired by Dr Briga Hynes of the Kemmy Business School at the University of Limerick and Kieran Ring, CEO of the Global Institute of Logistics.

Speaking on the Accreditation, Patrick McDermott, CEO of DigiTally says, “We are delighted with the All-Ireland Business Foundation’s recognition. DigiTally receiving the ‘All-Star Food Inventory Management Technology’ Accreditation is an enormous validation of the hard work our entire team has put into the business.”

“This Accreditation is a huge endorsement that our business and our people are ‘best in class’ and not only in the sector we operate in. Similar to the values of the All-Ireland Business Foundation, we aim to create a great place of work for our staff so they can excel, and build a relationship of trust with our customers. I am extremely proud of the whole team achieving this milestone and excited about what it signifies for the road ahead.”

Responding to DigiTally’s achievement, Kieran Ring, Deputy Chair on the Adjudication Board says, This certificate verifies that DigiTally has achieved AIBF All-Star Food Inventory Management Technology Accreditation, in recognition of the company’s outstanding contribution to Industry & Commerce in Ireland, since its foundation in the 1980’s. Furthermore, we wish to recognise DigiTally’s conduct in the areas of trust, commitment, performance & customer-centricity. DigiTally is hereby included in the AIBF Register Of Irish Business Excellence.

Dr Hynes said the Accreditation, which is now held by over 450 firms, is needed by the thousands of small and medium businesses which operate to their own standards, but have nothing to measure them by.

“We evaluate a company’s background, trustworthiness and performance, and we speak to customers, employees and vendors. We also anonymously approach the company as a customer and report back on the experience. The business goes through at least two interviews and is scored on every part of the process against set metrics”, she says.

DigiTally enables food businesses to generate their food gross margins up to 72% faster by digitalising the manual collection of Food Inventory Data. Eliminating the use of pen and paper counting and error-prone excel sheets, the DigiTally App and an intuitive online reporting dashboard gives clarity to your key metrics at a glance. Based in Tuam, Co. Galway, DigiTally was founded in 2016 by Patrick McDermott (CEO) & Artur Leonowicz (CTO) – two very experienced professionals with the knowledge of how stocktaking is undertaken and what methods should be approached to ease the process.

The All-Ireland Business Foundation is a national body which accredits best-in-class Irish businesses as Business All-Stars. The Foundation also oversees the All-Ireland Business Summit while promoting peer dialogue amongst our members on an ongoing basis.
