SnapPack Expands into Cherry Sector for the First Time
For the first time, leading New Zealand produce software platform snapPack has expanded its support into the cherry packing sector, helping streamline operations while maintaining traceability.
Computer Solution Engineering who owns the snapGrow, snapPack and snapSales software is already well established in the produce industry providing all three of it’s software packages to three of New Zealand’s biggest apple companies.
Heartland Packing Manager Laura Davis has used Snap products for apple packing at Crasborn Fresh Harvest and says she knew it would be a smooth transition to using it for cherry packing this season.
“When we took over Heartland packhouse in November we needed a software system that was quick and easy to implement. SnapPack meets our requirements for traceability, compliance, inventory tracking and invoicing,” Laura said.
Having previously used different software systems for cherry packing and sales in previous years, Laura described snapPack as user-friendly and “invaluable for ensuring smooth processes when timing is of the essence.”
The Computer Solution Engineering team works closely with clients across the produce industry and is known for its ability to customise the platform to specific operational needs. That flexibility proved critical during the cherry season, where rapid adjustments and hands on support were required.
“For fruit growers, packers and sellers, the cherry season brings unique pressures. Tight harvest windows and heightened compliance requirements which mean systems must work seamlessly without adding any administrative burden, that is what our software delivers,” said Brendan O’Reilly, owner and developer of the software.
The success of the cherry implementation highlights snapPacks’ growing capability beyond pip fruit, offering cherry suppliers and exporters a proven solution backed by more than 25 years of industry experience.
As more exporters look to simplify processes and reduce risk during peak seasons, snapPacks’ entry into cherries signals an important step forward for the category.
