Syngenta Flowers saves millions yearly with Latitude 40

Syngenta Flowers, one of the world's largest wholesale breeders of flower cuttings, faced the challenge of managing a complex global operation with diverse production sites and sales organizations. They required a system to unite these disparate parts and handle intricate logistics, including high-volume shipping and strict government-mandated track and trace requirements. To address this, they utilized a custom ERP and greenhouse management software from the vendor Latitude 40.

The solution implemented by Latitude 40 was a comprehensive ERP platform that automated key processes including logistics, order entry with B2B connectivity, sales forecasting, and a proprietary availability algorithm. A highly efficient track and trace system was developed that required virtually no scanning, saving significant labor overhead. Deep FedEx integration enabled major cost savings, including pre-labeling shipments to avoid delays, which saved millions of dollars annually over traditional shipping methods. This software from Latitude 40 provided Syngenta with the industry's highest level of availability accuracy and continues to be critical to their operations.
