Some improvements implemented
A new system of packaging and palletizing is one of the novelties that come to Cuna de Platero, optimizing these phases of the value chain, thus improving the control of orders.
On the other hand, the company has digitized all the processes implemented in the Company, with a Business Resource Planning System, also known as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) or, integrating the machinery to control all the processes of the value chain, from the reception to the expedition of fruit: production, distribution or human resources.
These innovations “allow us to advance in traceability: planning, measurement and control of all our activity, which will result in improvements in the work environment, a more complete service to our customers and fresh fruit of the highest quality for consumers”.
