on-time next-day deliveries
After years in fresh-produce distribution, T & F faced growing pains that its patchwork of in-house systems, spreadsheets and paper tickets could no longer solve. In a sector where “the heart of the business is food safety and quality,” the company needed reliable tracking, real-time inventory visibility and shelf-life management for perishable goods. Stock control and inventory management topped T & F's list of “must-haves” when evaluating new solutions.
“What's more, with a tremendous number of line items and a fully-stocked warehouse, we knew we needed a real top-of-the-line ERP system,” said Arthur Zinopoulos, Business & Administration Manager. Back-office teams also required better control over delivery workflows: trucks, schedules, routes and drivers' hours, to meet tight next-day windows.
Partnering with Priority business partner Cincom Australia, T & F implemented Priority ERP to run the entire operation “from warehouse to table.”
On day one, T & F saw dramatic improvements in traceability, order management and delivery reliability. The table below illustrates the transformation:
Traceability
Manual paper records
100% digital, batch-level tracking
Order cut-off window
9 AM – 5 PM
24/7 order entry, orders taken up until 1 AM for next day delivery
Next-day delivery reliability
Inconsistent, manual exceptions
100% on-time dispatch
Inventory visibility
Fragmented spreadsheets
Real-time, unified warehouse & delivery dashboard
Implementation downtime
Multi-day manual cutover
Seamless go-live with zero unplanned downtime
By deploying Priority ERP with Cincom Australia, T & F All States has transformed its distribution operations end to end. Manual paperwork and data silos have been replaced by digital batch-level traceability, 24/7 order capture, and live inventory and delivery dashboards. The shift to paperless workflows and automated processes has not only delivered a perfect next-day delivery rate, but also given managers the real-time insights they need to optimize routes, reduce spoilage, and scale the business confidently. Equipped with reliable data and a scalable platform, T & F is now positioned to explore new markets, refine customer-specific offerings, and further enhance its reputation as “Your connection to freshness.”
“Our business processes are smarter – categorized products, seamless stock control, and fast delivery to our customers.”
