Wimbledon has started. The sun is shining. The strawberries have arrived (but are they traceable?)
What could be better?
Tennis on grass. Sunshine. And strawberry fields forever.
(Unless there's a problem with a punnet!)

Roughly 27,000 kilos of strawberries are eaten during the Wimbledon Championships, together with 7,000 litres of cream. Whether you’re a supplier of the strawberries or a supplier of the cream, you’ll want to be able to give your customers the reassurance of full traceability.
Having an ERP system which can manage traceability is no longer a "Nice-to-Have"
In a post “horse-gate” world, food traceability is vital. If a food safety emergency does occurs, the food must be able to be traced backwards or forwards through the food chain. This information can then be used to withdraw or recall food more quickly from the market and to target actions to specific products and suppliers. The aim being to reduce potential public health risks, and minimise disruption.
To support growers, packers and shippers deliver full traceability, Microsoft Dynamics NAV has the capability to provide a powerful Food Supply Chain business management solution which helps manage the movement, tracking, and tracing of products - in real time. Working with partners specialising in the Food Sector, Microsoft Dynamics helps small and medium businesses involved in fresh produce, and food manufacturing and processing, to get stock to market with speed, efficiency, and transparency.

We all hope they'll be no “strawberry-gate” at Wimbledon
But if there is, then let's also hope the fresh produce suppliers have the ERP systems in place to provide full traceability ...after all, the only upset we want at Wimbledon is Andy Murray beating Novak Djokovic in the final!
