From the outside looking in, fresh produce operations seem simple enough - but ask any farm or packing operations manager, and they are quick to let you know that taking produce from the soil to the supermarket is a complex and challenging business. Growing, packing, and selling, respectively, entails monitoring a multitude of areas to ensure optimal quality and productivity. In a world that operates at a much faster pace, doing all of it manually isn’t a viable option anymore.
This is where Radfords software solutions come in. Our fresh produce management software promises to give farm operators complete control and visibility at every stage of the value chain. So, whether it’s orchard/farm management, post-harvest operations, packing, quality control, or grower payment software solutions, we’ve got you covered. Read on to learn more about how Radfords software suite can help your business thrive while unlocking operational efficiencies.
Whether you’re a grower, packer, or seller, Radfords software allows you to see what you’ve harvested, received, tipped, packed, sent, stored, and sold – all in real-time. Other features include the ability to:
This end-to-end visibility transforms the business end of your operations, giving you better production, quality, and cost control at every step of the way.
If you’ve worked in the fresh produce industry long enough, trying to manually reconcile handwritten notes into disparate systems probably sounds all too familiar. And for those looking at the data, it can be confusing to come up with their own interpretation of what this “consolidated” data actually means. This confusion then leads to a trickle-down effect of inefficiency.
With Radfords, you can easily capture, store, and display operational data in real time. Whether it’s scanning package labels or knowing exactly what labourers are doing (or have done) at a particular point in time, encoding is streamlined so employees can focus on more important tasks. You might find your admin staff feeling more enthusiastic, without the repetition of manual data entry and the ability to create variety in their day, adding value in operations and “on the floor” operations.
Disparate and inconsistent data is a common pain point when dealing with fresh produce operations. Without a centralised, “single source of truth”, the inability to report clearly robs fresh produce operations, and industry stakeholders, of valuable time and the ability to make informed decisions. To pull together and provide accurate and relevant reporting, enables data visibility and, in turn, confidence and clarity. This eliminates unnecessary confusion and keeps everyone on the same page.
If your farm or packhouse is looking to transition key areas of your operations to the digital realm, Radfords provides support and assistance throughout the entire process.
