Hook, Hampshire, January 2013 - Award-winning potato supplier to the nation, E. Park and Sons  are investing in special fresh produce software from K3 Business Solutions. Established in 1924 , E. Park and Sons  are a family-owned and run business and are the sole licensee of National Trust Potatoes and Vegetables. They have a strong reputation for high quality and innovation and its new FreshDynamicsTM enterprise resource planning (ERP) system will help maintain its leading edge in the potato supply chain.

With wholesale and retail customers, including Asda, The Co-operative,  Aldi and Nisa, FreshDynamics will give E. Park and Sons much greater control of its potato supply business from planning, to receipt of materials, through production and onto despatch. This provides the company with full visibility of the lifecycle of its products and integrates all areas of its business on a single, central platform.

FreshDynamics is a unique standard software solution from K3 Business Solutions written specifically for businesses growing and packing fruit, vegetables, flowers or other perishable produce. The software enables fresh produce companies to benefit from modern user-friendly IT, quickly and easily. It is based on the robust and popular Microsoft Dynamics® AX business software, which benefits from billions of dollars of investment by Microsoft and is used by thousands of companies worldwide.

Unlike other systems, FreshDynamics leverages standard Dynamics AX 2012 functionality and provides smooth and seamless integration with the core Microsoft technology rather than performing as a clunky add-on interface. Importantly, Microsoft's ongoing investment in its own technology enables K3 Business Solutions to focus its own resources on developing FreshDynamics as the modular ERP system of choice for the fresh produce industry.

Available modules for the software include Grade-Out, Pack-Ahead, Packhouse Production, Manpower Planning, Graphical Planning Board, Packhouse Mobility and Quality Control, which augment Microsoft's feature-rich ERP functionality delivered as standard with Dynamics AX 2012. The modules are configurable according to need to provide a single solution able to meet the needs of growers, packers and distribution with the flexibility to adapt rapidly to market requirements and changing technology.
