for
LINKFresh® Solution
Anglia
Business Solutions are pleased to announce that the LINKFresh® deployment at
the £240m turnover Produce World Group has won Enterprise Vertical Market
Solution of the Year at the 2008 UK Channel Network Awards.
The awards, regarded as the Oscars of the ICT Channel, took place at
the London Hilton on Park Lane on 16th
October 2008.
The Enterprise Vertical
Market Category was for major IT solutions integrated into the client's line
of business which show a real understanding of the needs of the client and
of the industry segment. The judges were looking for innovative solutions
that enabled the organisation to be more productive, efficient or effective
in their particular market segment.
The winning solution deployed
for Produce World, initially within its British & Brazilian subsidiary and
now being rolled-out across the Group, is an innovative state of the art
totally integrated business management solution. The technology platform was Anglia’s Microsoft Dynamics NAV based LINKFresh suite.
The system combines powerful financial management, a paperless pack
house production facility and a range of innovative business mobility
applications.
Speaking after collecting the
award, Anglia’s Managing Director,
David Hurley, said, “The Anglia Business Solutions entry
this year was pitched in at the highest level in the enterprise space. Here,
we were competing against major solutions involving significant budgets at
national level. It is therefore gratifying just to be short listed in such
elevated company and to win the award was a magnificent achievement.”
“The winning solution was the
result of a superb partnership between the Anglia and Produce World deployment teams. The delivered
system involved state of the art technologies that were skilfully configured
to tackle the key business drivers of the organisation. It has rightfully
been described as setting new standards for the use of IT within the fresh
produce industry.”
Hurley continues, “The judges
described this year’s entries as being of the highest calibre ever and
highlighted the vertical and mobility sectors as being the most competitive.
This is the third consecutive year that the Dynamics NAV based LINKFresh
solution has triumphed. The success of the product in
customer scenarios which subsequently gains national recognition endorses
our investment strategy in this vibrant and fast growing vertical market”.
Speaking on behalf of Produce World, Group Finance Director Ian Batkin said,
“We are delighted that our LINKFresh solution has gained well deserved
national recognition by winning this highly prestigious award. The
Anglia
and Produce World teams have successfully collaborated to deliver a system
that will provide us with an excellent productivity aid using dynamic
information. We believe that this would have not been feasible using our
older legacy systems”.
