How it works

Orchane Fresh Labs

Fresh produce still runs on phone orders, paper dockets and statements typed at night.

Orchane Fresh Labs is the system a fresh-produce business runs its own trade on.

Built for Australian growers, packers and wholesalers and distributors. Sell, receive, pack, dispatch and get paid. Trace any lot. Know your stock and your margins.

Three businesses. Each runs its own.

Wednesday 11 November at a farm, a pack house and a wholesaler.

Example data. Names are made up.

The trade runs on paper. It doesn’t have to.

  1. Today Orders by phone and text at 3 am. Dockets on clipboards.

    Orders, trucks, packing, delivery and invoices in one system.

    Sell, receive, pack, dispatch and get paid, one trading day at a time.

  2. Today The same order typed again at every step.

    Typed once.

    Last week’s order, the price list, the shipping notice and yesterday’s count are already filled in. Check, confirm, get on with the day.

  3. Today You find out the margin at month end.

    Know your numbers each day.

    Stock on hand and each day’s sales, with costs and margin wherever they are known.

  4. Today Held stock gets sold by mistake. Grower payments go out with no second look.

    Held stock and money wait for a person.

    Held stock is never sold. Invoices and payments wait for a person, and paying growers takes two. A missing price comes from the customer’s last price or your price list, for you to check.

Three products. One trade.

Built on the trade’s own paperwork.

Orchane keeps the records the trade already keeps, in the words you already use on the floor.

  1. The paperwork you already use.

    Pallet labels with their own barcodes, GST on every line, grower statements and the tax invoices you raise for growers (RCTIs). A file for Xero or MYOB.

  2. A lot code that stays with the produce.

    Trace any lot back to what went in, and forward to the invoice.

Your growers and customers can order from you, send you shipping notices and read their statements, if you want them to. You decide, one at a time.

Start with the day you run now.
