     "DSI has consistently provided me with quality products and services while continuing to invest in globally accepted platform technologies and dairy specific functionality over the past 25 years that I have been a customer.  From milk procurement through cheese production, DSI's business software modules are truly designed for the dairy industry.  Tracking plant loss at the milk component level, tracking yield variances using the Van Slyke equation and  tracking product quality by vat provides us the information we need to maximize our operational efficiences."  
        Tom Koskamp – Assistant Plant Manager, Wapsie Valley Creamery   
    
     "DSI's dairy software modules are designed to save our company labor hours while improving data entry accuracies.  These savings are achieved from their direct data feeds between our milk truck weigh scales and their milk procurement modules and our laboratory test equipment to their           
Laboratory Information Management Software (LIMS) module.  It is so refreshing to work with a company that understands my industry and specific dairy needs --  DSI really 'Gets it'. "   Dale Brittan – I.T. Director, Brewster Dairy, Inc.   

                            
     "We purchased our first version of DSI business software in 1984.  Since that time, DSI's software has evolved in concert with the dairy industry as well as our own specific business growth needs.  DSI has time after time provided real value to our company on a consistent basis."  
Kevin Baker – V.P. Finance, Baker Cheese   


       

    "DSI truly knows the Dairy Industry.  I did not expect a business software company to be able to audit my plant floor processes and map out a strategy to not only reduce my current shrink by 64%, but also map out a real time plant floor to top floor shrink tracking data system as well.  The time my team spent with DSI's systems manager was money well spent." 
Steve Pelkey - Plant Manager, H. P. Hood
