Before Aritmos and Sage X3

Problem areas

Isolated management of the Tudela and Caparroso fruit and vegetable plants,
with non-specialized systems for the sector's peculiarities (campaigns, sizes, traceability).
Complex and slow traceability
of the product from the reception of raw materials from members to its dispatch, a key requirement in the food industry.
Administrative and productive processes
that were not fully digitized or optimized, consuming valuable time and resources.

Impact on the business

Lack of a unified view of production
and real costs, which generated inefficiencies and hindered resource optimization.
Difficulty in analyzing profitability
by product, campaign, or member, limiting the ability to make strategic decisions based on accurate data.
Risk of losing agility and competitiveness
in a key division for the group, by not having tools adapted to its growth and demands.

Our solution

The strategy focused on equipping the fruit and vegetable division with a cutting-edge tool, specifically adapted by Aritmos to turn the sector’s complexity into a competitive advantage:

Pillar 1: "Verticalization" for the Fruit and Vegetable Sector
Thanks to Aritmos' experience since 1984, Sage X3 was parameterized to manage the sector's specificities: campaign control, quality management, member settlements, and complete traceability by lot.
Pillar 2: Integration of Production Plants
Sage X3 was implemented as the single platform for the Tudela and Caparroso plants, unifying their administrative and productive areas to operate in a coordinated manner and under the same management standards.
Pillar 3: A Platform for Optimization and Growth
The new tool not only solves current problems but also provides Grupo AN with a scalable platform to drive the division's growth, improve planning, and optimize the entire supply chain.

The transformation: before and after

Before (with the previous system)

Information Silos
The Tudela and Caparroso plants operated with partially disconnected data and processes.
Basic Traceability
Functional product tracking but slow and not fully integrated with the rest of the management.
Management with Generic Tools
The previous system was not designed for the peculiarities of the fruit and vegetable sector.

After (with Sage X3 and Aritmos)

Centralized and Unified Management
A single platform to govern the administrative and productive operations of the division.
Complete "Field to Market" Traceability
Total control of the product in real time, from reception to dispatch, ensuring food safety
Specialized and Tailored Solution
A "verticalized" ERP by Aritmos that responds to the specific needs of fruit and vegetable management.
