Overview Anglia Business Solutions, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, wanted to improve supply chain management for businesses in the fresh-produce industry. Inefficient manual data-handling processes contributed to product loss and large fines because of labelling errors. The problem was particularly acute for smaller businesses in an industry with low profit margins. To improve efficiency, Anglia designed a solution based on the Windows Mobile version 5.0 operating system and Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition database software that integrates with its enterprise resource planning system. Now companies make decisions faster with immediate access to data from any point in the supply chain. Automated data management reduces error and makes it easier to fulfill customer requirements.
