Weather changes can really affect the farming
industry, especially extreme drought conditions like what the United States is
experiencing now or even extreme wet conditions when too much tropical storm
rain falls over a short period of time. Everyone
knows that the margin with prices is low enough as it is with the produce
industry without worrying about the weather, spoilage, and the potential for
losing a whole season’s crop before harvesting.
There is nothing much that can be done about the weather and whether or
not it rains, but one thing that a good produce distribution company absolutely
needs is a produce distribution software system that can help streamline their
online orders, reduce spoilage, and to keep the customers happy.
The right produce distribution software system can
help increase efficiency within a produce or food delivery company and provide
numbers and metrics to use so a business can know what is working and what
needs fixing. Many produce delivery
businesses have started from small beginnings and may not have even had a
computer to work from originally, but as they have grown bigger and faster they
have found an increased need for automation and software that can handle their
needs. One person can only do so much,
but a distribution software system can keep track of all orders, both online
and over the phone, store statistics about customers, show past orders, and
possibly provide a look into the future to see how they might grow over time.
There are several varieties of food distribution software out there on the market, and a company should study their own business
to find out what features they might need and also what they don’t need in a
system. Some great software systems
offer all the bells and whistles you can imagine under the sun, but with them
their price also goes way up. If your
company does not need these extra features, then there is no reason for you to
pay for them when you make your purchase decision. You can use the money you just saved by
investing in other areas of your business that need it more.
So always do your homework before buying, and make
sure that it is the right produce distribution software for you and your
business. Not too much fluff and just
the right amount of functionality! We
feel that Intalogix OneLink produce distribution software is a great choice and
should help your company provide incredible customer service to your clients,
but also give you additional flexibility in the growth of your business.
