NEXERA CoreIndustriesFresh produce

Bought today. Loaded tomorrow, paperwork included.

Trade in vegetables, fruit and other fresh produce runs on speed: daily prices, batches that cannot wait and documents that have to go out today. NEXERA Core runs all that on the same core as manufacturing, without the production module.

Where this industry loses time every week.

This is what we hear in the discovery phase with fresh produce traders. Sound familiar? Then you know where a first phase begins.

The margin per batch is only known afterwards

Purchasing sits in one system, sales in another. What a batch has earned only becomes clear at the month-end close.

Paperwork that still has to go out today

A lorry does not wait for a CMR that is still being made in Word, or for a delivery note in the wrong language.

Short payment terms, long list of debtors

With 14-day terms and customers in three countries, reconciliation and payment reminders have to happen every day, not every month.

How it works

Recorded once.
Six steps, one record.

From the first agreement to the last journal entry: what one step records, the next one uses. Nobody retypes anything.

Each step belongs to a module of the core. The module is shown alongside, so you can see where the work happens.

Step 01

Purchased batch comes in

Origin, weight, number of packages and shelf life on the batch. The purchase price is recorded with it straight away.

Purchasing & payables
Step 02

Price per customer, per day or week

Price agreements per customer take precedence over the price book, with a validity period you set yourself.

Items & pricing
Step 03

Sales order on the batch

The order allocates kilos from a batch. When it is gone, it is gone; the margin per batch is visible straight away.

Quotations & orders
Step 04

Transport requested and confirmed

Transport request per shipment, the carrier's quotation attached, CIF or DAP in the price build-up.

Logistics & export
Step 05

Loading with delivery note and CMR

Delivery note and CMR in the customer's language, with weights and packages from the order. Cold store and loading time on the shipment.

Logistics & export
Step 06

Invoice, bank and payment reminders on schedule

Invoice on departure, daily bank import, reconciliation and payment reminders following each customer's schedule.

What often happens now, and how it runs in the core.

On the left, what we find at companies in this industry; on the right, how the same step works in NEXERA Core. No integration in between: it is always the same record.

Modules you do not need stay switched off.

Documents and rules

From the same data, with rules the core enforces.

Documents come from the order and the shipment, in the customer's language. Rules sit in the core and do not rely on anyone keeping watch.

Documents

Documents in five languages. These are the main ones here.

  • Order confirmation in the customer's language
  • Delivery note with packages and weight per batch
  • CMR from the shipment
  • Sales invoice at 0% ICP or with the country's VAT
  • Weekly statement per customer, emailed automatically
Rules

What the core blocks, so that nobody has to remember it.

  • A sales order cannot allocate more kilos than the batch holds
  • A CIF or DAP order waits for an accepted transport quotation
  • 0% VAT only with a valid VAT number in VIES
  • A batch past its shelf life goes on the watch list
  • Exports outside the EU without export evidence go on the watch list
Core and customisation

What is standard, and what becomes yours.

Three layers. The core is the same for every customer, the set-up is configuration, and the customisation is code that we write and maintain for you.

The core

Already in place, in every industry

  • Batches, weights and shelf life
  • Price agreements per customer
  • CMR, delivery note and VAT rules
Set-up

Configuration, not new code

  • Daily and seasonal prices
  • Cold stores as locations
  • Documents per destination country
Customisation

Built for this industry

  • Scale integration at goods receipt
  • Integration with an auction or purchasing platform
  • Your own quality report per batch

FAQ

Questions from this industry

Is your question not listed? Get in touch

No. Modules you do not use stay switched off. Purchasing, sales, batches, logistics and accounting work without production orders.

Yes. A price agreement per customer has a validity period, which can be a day, a week or a season. A new agreement takes precedence over the price book.

Growers are suppliers with their own card. Purchasing on the batch and settlement per batch are in the core; we set up a commission model for each customer.

Yes, for trade and export. Auction integrations are built to order for each customer.
