Hortifrut

Challenge

Diversifying the supply chain to protect revenues and deliver high-quality goods all-year-round is key in the fresh produce industry. However, by doing so, producers often end up with multiple sources of information and struggle to achieve a clear, comprehensive overview of their global business. How could berry producer Hortifrut continue to expand, when it struggled to gain a clear ongoing grasp of its operations?

Solution

To provide unmatched security, scalability and data processing speed to its existing SAP ERP systems, Hortifrut chose to implement SAP HANA in-memory platform on Lenovo System x3850 X6 servers. The Lenovo solution’s full availability and excellent performance is ideal for the world-leading, next-generation SAP applications and analytics that are mission-critical for Hortifrut.
