Food and Beverage

Vibrant, succulent, mouth-watering – these are just a few of the words that come to mind when you feast your eyes on a gift basket from The Fruit Company. Sink your teeth into a luscious apple or pear, and you’ll know you’re enjoying the finest candy nature has to offer. Since 1999, The Fruit Company has created bountiful baskets and boxes from the premium fruit grown in their fertile, family-owned Oregon orchards. These scrumptious creations make their way to delighted customers all over the United States. Read The Fruit Company's SAP Business One success story to see how they got the sweet taste of success with the right technology.

The Fruit Company’s dedication to their craft has paid off. They continue to purchase additional land to grow their blueberries, cherries, oranges, and other fruits, and they were featured in Oprah Magazine. Exciting growth like this calls for powerful technology, like SAP Business One, with the flexibility and customization to support The Fruit Company into the future.

Food and Beverage Industry Challenges

Every industry has unique challenges, but there’s zero room for error when selling and shipping ripe, premium fruit. Inventory must be tightly managed, and traceability functions are necessary if a recall occurs.

The Fruit Company was challenged by rotting software that required a lot of manual data entry. This wasted time and energy and increased the potential for expensive mistakes. A lack of inventory management and traceability tools meant The Fruit Company didn’t have the visibility they needed, and without the ability to customize their software, it was difficult to find innovative ways to cater to their customers. They needed a fresh, robust system to manage their promising growth.

SAP Business One: Rooted in Success

The Fruit Company teamed with Vision33, an IT professional services company, on their quest to find technology that would make their taste buds tingle with possibilities. The Fruit Company chose a SAP food and beverage solution built on SAP Business One.
