'Prodigy' has been used for many years within the fresh
produce industry under its generic name,  .
Our staff are very experienced and well versed in the
vagaries and requirements specific to the industry. We
supply software for Growers, Marketing
Companies, Caterers and Wholesale
Markets, applying specific modules as required.
The software is totally integrated and includes its own
accounts package, though may be linked to third party
packages.
- Growers
When linked to agronomy software, provides traceability from field,
through direct deliveries or pack house, to the
customer. This is the philosophy behind the 'Field
to Fork' concept required by many in the food
chain. This can involve the use of the latest
mobile technology linked to bar coding.
- Marketing
Companies
In
addition to the traditional marketing companies,
there has been a rapid growth of growers forming
their own marketing companies, to pool their resources
and provide benefits for the members. As for the
traditional companies, deals with all aspects, from remittances
to customers, tracing the sale of available produce,
through to self-billing of the growers, usually
less a commission deducted for marketing company
expenses.
- Trading
Companies
The
trading
sheet sometimes used by marketing companies as
well as dedicated trading companies, is fully
configurable to each customer's requirements.
It allows complete visibility of all transactions
from beginning to end and may include self billing.
It is well tried and tested, being particularly
robust in a high intensity, multi user environment.
We have many customers, not all in the fresh produce
industry, who consider the trading sheet to be
the engine room of their business making the reliability,
robustness and speed of extremely important.
- Wholesale
(Collected and Delivered)
In this sector, we have combined two specific
but related processes.
In the first instance, the 'Collect' wholesale
refers to the traditional wholesale market, with
consignment sales off a pitch and customers coming
on site to buy goods. Here the sales are usually
only for bulk items and we can offer handheld
technology to simplify and assist with cash and
stock reconciliation. Open or fixed price sales
can be accommodated for the supplier return.
The 'Delivered' wholesale is usually by telephone
or faxed orders, to be picked, loaded and delivered
to the customer. There would normally be an element
of split boxes or packages as part of the order.
In addition, different price lists may be applied
for different customers. Dealings may be entirely
electronic (e.g. EDI), with orders received, invoiced
and remittances generated for electronic payment
into the bank.
can deal with all of the above and may be customised
to meet each customer's requirements
