Flex²B takes food traceability to the cloud
“Cloud” means simply that Oryx has been able to re-engineer their recognized software solution so instead of paying upfront fees to have their software installed on your computers, their software and programming intelligence can be accessed and used anytime, anywhere by you as long as you have an internet connection. You pay by the month and by what services you need to use.
Flex²B is a comprehensive solution that includes specific solutions for growers’ needs, track and traceability, pallet contamination, orchard management, deliveries, warehouse management, food safety, compliance, and more. It even has a messaging system so a direct message could be sent to a forklift driver to carry out an urgent and specific assignment.
That full solution appeals to companies with the budgets that can see a fast return-on-investment. These companies enjoy the flexibility and affordability that Flex²B demonstrates as it shapes itself to each individual company’s needs.
Flex²B Cloud permit to add technology on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Cloud will open up Oryx expertise not only for a new group of customers, but for new uses by current customers. The flexibility is such that combining the best of both systems, or mix and matching certain types of cloud and premise-based services can be achieved depending upon the need.
Flex²B doesn’t replace your own business or accounting or ERP system. In fact, it integrates well with existing standards. What it does is add more business intelligence around problems that are particular to perishable produce. These problems, while common to most, also bring their own particularities. And Flex²B is easy and fast for any company to adapt to their own business rules and it brings quality metrics that translate into speedy executive decisions to control wasteful costs and to add more precious profit.
Even companies with their own in-house systems may find Flex²B’s new cloud services (the top 20 modules are available as cloud services) address specific opportunities or shore up weak niches of intelligence in the route to the produce market.
“Our smallest tracking unit is a box of fruit,” notes Oryx’s Jozef de Smedt. “The smallest trading unit or stock unit is a pallet. We keep track of everything up to box level. These logistical units are all numbered with an SSCC code in accordance with GS1 coding. We know precisely where which product is, both in stock as in transit, through our 'location' modules. Additional components, DESADV messages, customizations have been implemented during miscellaneous integrations. This is an indispensable tool for tracking & tracing. Flex²B can also exchange information with your prevailing software."
Today every grower, every distributor and everyone in the distribution chain can win by turning their data into intelligence. The produce business is complicated enough that technology is a must.
“What we would like to do is show companies visiting Fruit Logistica how easy it is to get technology working for you. In Hall 6.2 Stand B-10, we’ll take any company that wants to save money in their perishable produce business and show how Flex²B will add control, intelligence and profit to their business.”
