Grupo AN, the 100-year-old organisation specialising in the food and agriculture sector, has renewed its business administration and management system in the fruit and vegetable area of the company thanks to its business partner, Aritmos. This technological update will give the fruit and vegetable productive division of this Navarre company an impulse and will optimise the management of the administrative areas of the productive centres in Tudela and Caparroso, both of which are located in the Autonomous Community of Navarre.
The technological tool used to computerise the fruit and vegetable production centres of the group is the Sage ERP X3 technological platform, made vertical and given parameters by Aritmos for the fruit and vegetable sector. This technological change will enable the tool to be adapted to the specificities of the sector and the consequent implementation to the more specific administrative and productive characteristics of the Grupo AN organisation
The computerisation of the company's work centres was done by the technological consultancy company and software factory in Lleida, Aritmos, a company that has specialised in food and agricultural industries since 1984.
With a business turnover in the last financial year of 684 million euros, the Grupo AN is a leader of Spanish cooperatives. With more than 1.2 million tonnes a year, it is the largest cereal cooperative in Spain, the fourth poultry operator rearing more than 150,000 chickens a day and the main producer of the most prestigious and recognised fruit and vegetables, such as asparagus from Navarre, artichokes from Tudela and sweet red peppers from Lodosa.
The Grupo AN also operates in supplies and services, being a point of reference in fuel, with 55 petrol stations in networks open to the public and several distribution bases that are added to another 50 own consumption units in partner cooperatives. In 2010, the Grupo AN celebrated its centenary: 100 years of work of thousands of cooperative members, partners, workers, etc.
