Case Study: Avalon Growers Producer Organisation improves fruit sizing and inventory management with Croptracker

Avalon Growers Producer Organisation trims fruit sizing to a 10-second scan with Croptracker

The customer, Avalon Growers Producer Organisation (AGPO), a UK-based collective of apple and pear growers, faced inefficiencies in marketing their harvest. Their manual process for sizing fruit using calipers was slow, provided limited sample sizes, and lacked accuracy, hindering optimal inventory and sales management. They turned to Croptracker and its Harvest Quality Vision (HQV) service for a better solution.

Croptracker's solution implemented the HQV tool to digitize size assessments. This allowed AGPO to scan over 100 apples in a 10-second scan, replacing the manual sizing of 100 apples per delivery. The result was a highly accurate, real-time view of inventory size profiles across remote storage facilities. For Croptracker, this enabled AGPO's marketing team to optimally group fruit for packing and match stock to sales orders, increasing operational efficiency and providing clear financial benefits to the grower-owners.
