Fruta
A modern web-based system allows for constant monitoring and tracking of all perishable goods. Suppliers, wholesalers, and retailers, among others, may monitor inventory at all times to ensure it is in good shape. Improved transparency like this lowers the likelihood of spoiling, speeds up delivery times, and delights end users. Fruta was established with the intention of offering an online solution to the challenges faced in the fresh produce industry.
The industry has exhibited a persistent refusal to adopt new technological advancements, but Fruta would speed up the process and make it possible for the next five generations to thrive. The marketplace was designed to be efficient with regard to all areas of the supply chain for fresh products. And the system that the Develop.Software team supported build up enabled seamless collaboration, the sharing of data, and planning among suppliers, producers, distributors, and retailers.
What The Client Required
The client required a multi-tenant application that can present machine storage information via a dashboard and various reports to perform a precise storage audit. The users had an expectation that the program would function effectively and have a user-friendly interface. The program is designed to be cross-platform, allowing it to operate on any device, including computers, smartphones, and tablets, regardless of the operating system.
The subsequent features were deemed necessary for the implementation of this application. Fruta combined the basic features of an e-Commerce platform and other unique features:
