Anglia Business Solutions has concluded negotiations on a multi-site implementation of its LINKFresh business management solution at Produce World, one of the largest conventional and organic fresh produce suppliers in the UK.
The solution, based on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP suite, will be implemented across each of the £140 million turnover group’s subsidiary companies, including Solanum, British & Brazilian Produce, Frupac, Isleham Fresh Produce, Prep Direct, RB Organic and Rustler Produce. These organisations collectively employ more than 650 people.
Produce World chief executive, William Burgess said: “Our six-month selection and due diligence process was extremely thorough, as we needed a modern system that would meet both our short and long-term business requirements.
“We selected the LINKFresh solution from Anglia for a number of reasons; first, the Dynamics NAV system is widely and successfully used throughout the global fresh produce industry.
“Anglia also demonstrated its extensive knowledge and commitment to the fresh produce sector with the sophisticated industry-specific functionality included in the LINKFresh packaged application. We had very positive feedback from a number of existing first-class reference sites, where we explored how the relationship worked when difficulties occurred. Finally, Anglia could provide us with a single source for a system that included infrastructure, the core business applications and advanced mobility.
“When implemented, the totally integrated Produce World deployment will be a leading edge solution that will enable us to realise our commercial potential as the fresh produce industry continues to consolidate.”
David Hurley, md at Anglia, said: “The rapidly changing fresh produce industry is one of the most demanding supply chain environments to automate. Our unique technology will enable it to benefit from our significant investments and experience in the sector to our mutual advantage”.
