Valley Grown Salads choose LINKFresh® to
manage supermarket supply chain
Anglia Business Solutions today announces a further win
for its LINKFresh® fresh produce business management solution at
Essex-based Valley Grown Salads (VGS). VGS supply Sainsbury’s, Waitrose &
Ocado with locally grown and imported tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers &
aubergines.
The Microsoft Navision based solution, which includes
the LINKFresh® Foundation, Supply Chain and Logistics modules as
well as a new IT Infrastructure, will be deployed at the company’s Roydon
headquarters in Essex.
“As my business moves forward I need to ensure that my
management team keep up to speed with the ever changing demands of our
customers”, says Jimmy Russo, Managing Director for VGS. “We need to have an
accurate and up to date view of our supply & demand requirements at all
times to allow us to be pro-active in the market. Supermarkets have very
stringent quality and delivery standards, with costly financial penalties
for those suppliers who fail to meet them. By implementing the LINKFresh®
solution from Anglia we are not only investing in our IT solution, but also
in our continued long-term success as a supplier of high quality fresh
produce to the major multiples. In particular, the LINKFresh®
Supply Chain Module will enable us to improve control and gain better
visibility on supply & demand across our whole organisation and ultimately
provide a better service.”
Commenting on the win, Bob Rose, Business Development
Manager for Anglia says, “We are delighted to be working with such a dynamic
and forward thinking fresh produce organisation like VGS. They are an
excellent example of an organisation that has the long-term vision to invest
in its IT systems to provide them with that competitive edge and speed of
response so important in today’s fresh produce market place.”
