Nunes selects FoodLink for produce traceability
FoodLink, a leader in supply chain and commerce solutions for the fresh food industry, announced that The Nunes Co. Inc., based in Salinas, CA, has selected the company's produce traceability solution for all field-packed produce grown and shipped throughout the United States.
The Nunes Co. is a leading supplier of fresh organic and conventional vegetables under the "Foxy" label. Four generations of Nunes family members created and participate in all areas of daily operations -- growing, harvesting, cooling, sales and marketing -- for numerous products on more than 18,000 crop acres in California, Arizona and Nevada.
"We did a deep dive into the leading PTI solutions including field pilots," Peter Townsend, IT director and evangelist for The Nunes Co., said in a press release. "FoodLink stood out with its simple licensing model, inexpensive cost and mature ERP integration tools. The team has been fantastic to work with and deployment has been as smooth as it gets. I'm conversant with the cloud-hosted trace and analytics technology platform model and FoodLink offers a robust solution."
FoodLink combines advanced case and item-level tracking with a broad commerce network of buyers and sellers transacting over the FoodLink network.
The breadth of the FoodLink network enables faster and more cost-effective information about where food is grown and packed all the way through the complete supply chain of shipping, purchasing and receiving by retail category managers, ultimately bringing full visibility to consumers.
"Leading growers and shippers such as The Nunes Company really set the standard for how the produce industry moves forward with implementing produce traceability requirements," Kevin Brooks, chief marketing officer for Los Gatos, CA-based FoodLink, added in the press release. "We are proud to work with such innovative organizations to help them bring fresh, safe and traceable food to their customers."
