Ben Cant, Impi Highland

We have been using GrowData’s packing program at Impi Highland for over 8 years.

During this time we have probably processed well in excess of 21,000 pallets and GrowData has handled this volume without a hitch.

When we purchased the program we knew that it would be running at it’s theoretical “upper limits” but we were not willing at that stage to spend a great deal of money by stepping up to a fully commercial pack-house program costing many thousands of dollars.

Our business has continued to grow and unfortunately we are now forced to look at upgrading to a fully commercial program, but our experience with GrowData has been excellent. It is easy to use and very reliable. It has managed our stock on hand, produced comprehensive consignment notes and makes traceability reporting back to the block and forward to the customer a breeze.

I am happy to recommend this program to any “grower-packer” who is looking to streamline their document management within the packing shed.

If you have Special Documentation Requirements

We understand that growers have different documentation requirements and compliance issues and we are happy to make changes to suit the requirements of a special customer or perhaps government regulations. Understanding your need and responding to them is what has made GrowData so successful.
Seamless integration with our farm management program

You can now record packout performance down to individual block/patch or variety from data collected in the PackHouse program. Not only know what your production costs were per block or variety but you can also see the quality achieved and the income received on each block. You can easily evaluate different growing techniques applied on individual blocks to see which gave you a better quality/ profit margin per hectare/acre.
Now you can afford to stop handwriting all your documentation

Our PackHouse program has been built with the grower/packer in mind. If you pack your own product (and perhaps for a few other growers in your area) then this program will do it all for a fraction of the price of the big commercial programs. With an excellent suite of reports and comprehensive consignment documentation, this program will save you time and money as well as giving you full block to customer traceability at your fingertips.

Packing Software Features

Consignment Notes

Choose from a detailed or summary format. Include your logo. Select one pallet to be consigned to a customer and all other pallets in stock that are consigned to that customer will be included.

Pallet Slips

Print large size pallet slips that can easily be seen by your forklift driver when it comes time to retrieve stock from the cool room for dispatch. Stock on hand reports are “by cool room” making stock easier to locate.

No Double Handling

Pallet number, batch number, variety, container type, weight, grade, size, are all recorded at the time the pallet is created. Customer can be allocated at this point or later in the process.

Total Traceability

With every batch you process, you will know who picked it, what block it came from, how many kg’s were tipped, what consignments it went on and to which customers.

No More Handwritten Records

Think of the time you could save and the errors you could eliminate by doing away with handwritten documents!

Reports

There are over 25 reports in the PackHouse program alone. Also, you have quick search functions to find batch numbers, consignment note numbers, and pallet numbers.
