Packhouse Operations
Production
Production
Fresh Produce is an industry where margins are tight and constantly under pressure, where the produce has a short life and quick decision-making is critical. If your business incorporates packing or production, our ERP software is designed to optimise your operation by providing accurate information and analysis in a timely manner.
This detailed information can be shared within your business, with growers and suppliers and can help your management team make the best decisions regarding sourcing, sales, production and distribution.
The increasing requirements of retailers driven by a global appetite for quality, transparency, and information, dictates that your systems must be capable of supporting your business to deliver on all of these requirements for your clients.
