VENTURA, CALIF., August 23, 2017 – LINKFRESH Inc., a leading provider of supply chain ERP solutions designed specifically for the fresh food industry, announced that Houston, TX based Latin Specialties LLC is to implement the LINKFRESH fresh produce ERP suite.

We looked across all industry specific solutions available and LINKFRESH proved to be head and shoulders above the rest. Our goal was to replace our ageing legacy solution with a modern, scalable and futureproof solution, to align our business operations to use world class industry best practice processes wherever possible, to establish comprehensive inventory management and product traceability capability and to gain better visibility of costs and transparency of operations across all departments.  The fresh produce industry experts at LINKFRESH demonstrated that the LINKFRESH ERP suite could meet all of these requirements, meeting the needs of our business now and into the future as we continue to grow.”
