How We Help Grocers | Clarity, Control, and a Partner You Can Count On

We help you control costs, make better decisions, and scale — with a partner who knows grocery inside and out.

You’re running lean, facing shrinking margins, and competing with national chains that seem to have endless resources. You don’t need another vendor — you need a strategic partner that understands your world.

That’s where we come in. We help independent grocers increase profit, reduce operational stress, and gain control over their financial future — all using proven tools and expert support built specifically for grocery retail.

Client Success Stories

Scott Karns, Owner, Karns Quality Foods

"Without FMS my day would be longer, there'd be a lot more administrative tasks. I probably cut my payroll time by two hours every Monday. Certainly being an independent retailer, you are in the grocery industry as a love, as a passion. Having vendor partners like FMS that are offering solutions really allows us to then focus on our store and how we're serving our community and our team members."

Lucy Greer, VP, Greers Market

"Life without FMS, I think would be a jumbled, numbered mess. We really use almost all of the functions, AR, payables, payroll. The WorkHappy™ app has been such a great addition to the way that we can communicate with our team members. Our accounting department is still waving flags of thanks for, for FMS. It's made everybody's lives a lot easier."
