Fresh produce companies can now make increased savings on overheads and administration costs by taking advantage of a new price list distribution tool - part of an improved version of VFM International's Trade Process Management Solution.

Jonas Emgard of VFM International said: 'Following our daily interaction with the fresh produce industry and specific discussions with existing and potential customers we are now very pleased to be able to offer a new feature that will save the industry further time and money.

'The workload and stress during early morning hours to compile prices, calculate delivery prices to different customers, send faxes and emails is all too familiar to the industry. By fully utilising I-Deal, the company can focus on important trade rather than on costly administration.' The new price calculation and distribution functionality is a part of the complete VFM I-Deal package, which also include supply management, product requests, order and transport management in a secure and hosted application environment.
