Florida-based fresh berry distributor Dave’s Specialty Imports has chosen FoodLink for its mobile, field-based produce traceability solution. FoodLink PTI is the platform that Dave's Specialty Imports will be using for PTI.
Mike Bowe, Vice President, Dave’s Specialty Imports, states, “We looked at other solutions, but FoodLink stood out as the most flexible, cost effective way for us to connect with our growers in Central and South America, and to achieve our goals in terms of labeling and traceability.”
FoodLink's recent acquisition of TrueTrac has married the company's web-based field- and packing shed traceability solutions with FoodLink’s broad network of buyers and sellers. The coupling results in a web-based network directly linking information from a field to fork.
“We have seen a surge of interest in FoodLink PTI as fresh produce suppliers are getting ready for increased buyer demand for traceability data on every order in 2013,” said Kevin Brooks, CMO, FoodLink. “We look forward to working with Dave’s Specialty Imports, and with all FoodLink suppliers to realize the benefits of a practical, cost-effective solution that works across all harvesting and packing environments.”
