Our Solution

Our PATH web application for packers enables our client to manage and track many aspects of their operation, including:

• PRODUCTION: Our production solution maintains field and agronomy records while simultaneously tracking raw product and storage inventory. 

• CUSTOMER ORDERS: We have simplified the recording of customer orders by allowing data entry of orders to be packed and/or shipped, updating packaging inventory, and generating order and purchase documentation.

• PACKAGING: By tracking packaging inventory throughout the system, monitoring quantity-on-hand, and packaging reserved by orders, our solution ensures accurate inventory management.

• PACKING: Our packing solution enables the user to schedule order items onto packing lines, track its quantity and quality in real-time, produce CFIA-required unit and pallet labels, and monitor finished product inventory. Our software fully supports C-PIQ requirements for certified potato packers.

• SETTLEMENTS & INVOICING: Invoicing is easy with PATH - our software automatically tracks various costs, rates and prices and generates invoices and/or exports transactions to external accounting software. Our client also uses our Grower Settlement module, used to generate payments to growers for raw product.

• SHIPPING: The shipping module allows scheduling of orders onto loads, generating all required shipping documentation, including cross-border documentation, and allows tracking of shipments.

• MANAGEMENT & REPORTING: Administrators and managers are able to set up permissions, define system settings and generate reports. Users are able to subscribe to various system generated alerts.
