Case Study: D & F McCarthy achieves accurate stock control and flexible pricing for fresh produce with De Facto Software

D & F McCarthy - Customer Case Study

D & F McCarthy is a fifth-generation, family-run wholesaler of fresh fruit and vegetables (mccarthys.co.uk) that works with a wide range of suppliers from small growers to major importers. Their challenge was finding a sector-tailored system that delivered accurate, real-time stock control and could cope with the volatility of fresh produce (including catchweights) while supporting complex customer pricing arrangements.

De Facto’s ERP, with its Distribution & Manufacturing module at the hub, provided reliable stock management and integrated Financials and Manufacturing functionality. The system’s Price List features let McCarthy maintain multiple price lists and match prices to specific customers, while catchweight handling accommodates fluctuating produce weights — resulting in improved operational control, pricing flexibility and confidence in stock accuracy.
