Anglia
Business Solutions form Global Strategic Alliance with Market Leader Priva
12/05/2008, Cambridge, UK. Anglia Business
Solutions announces that it has formed a strategic alliance with Priva ,
based in The Netherlands. Priva is the global market leader in process
automation for horticulture under glass and has over 50 years of experience
in climate control for greenhouse horticulture.
The alliance will see both organisations jointly using its technologies to
provide customers with end to end business intelligence from the grower
through to the supermarket. Anglia will interface its award winning
LINKFresh® business management solution with Priva’s management information
system for the horticultural sector (FUSION).
Priva’s UK Director, Chris Addis comments, “Priva have been looking to
extend our offering for a number of years to enable us to further enhance
our services to clients. We are seeing many of our client’s businesses
expanding rapidly, and supermarkets are now looking to these growers to
supply directly. However, many growers are unable to provide the
required level of product traceability once the crops leave the greenhouse.
Our research has indicated the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Certified LINKFresh
Business Management solution from Anglia as being best-of-breed and way
ahead of its rivals in terms of flexibility and functionality.
Together Priva and Anglia can provide our clients with a total business
management and product traceability solution as required by the industry
today”.
Also commenting on the alliance, Anglia’s Commercial Director, Robert Frost
says, “We are naturally delighted to be working with the leading climate
control business in the world. We have already found that we have
mutual customers and there are significant synergies between our
organisations. The Priva climate control and management information
technologies for the greenhouse are the ideal extension to our LINKFresh
suite, enabling us to provide a truly end to end solution from seed to
supermarket”.
