Silver Creek Software – Testimonials

“Visual Produce is an all-purpose solution, but one that’s designed specifically for the fresh produce industry.

Silver Creek Software has really helped pull together all of the disparate parts of our business, for example, we use Visual Produce reports on the buying side to manage the cash out and all of the pricing, including the process of setting customer prices.

Visual Produce back end is current, standard and relevant with Microsoft SQL, so there are thousands of packages we can integrate with. The fact that Silver Creek Software doesn’t use a proprietary database comes in very handy when it comes to picking out other software we want to pull data from.”

“The Coastal Companies keep growing, keep evolving and with Silver Creek Software’s Visual Produce being so flexible that we can turn on a dime when need be and use the same platform to manage our multiple fresh produce businesses and  manufacturing.

We manage inventory, create custom sales reports, analyze sales per customer and so much more – we always have a handle on our sales and productivity.”

“We have truly enjoyed the sales process, project management, implementation and support we have received from Silver Creek Software! We are growing and Silver Creek Software’s Visual Produce software is growing with us!”

“I wanted to thank everyone at Silver Creek Software for their hard work and for making us uniquely competitive in our local markets. We had a lot to learn and learned to manage things differently, which enabled us to utilize our new system more fully. This has made us a better company. We appreciate your time and your service.”

“Most of the features and reports we use are right out of the box, initially. We’ve done quite a few customizations, because our business has grown leaps and bounds – the important thing is that we’re customizing what’s already in the platform instead of having to build from scratch.

In the years I’ve worked at The Coastal Companies, Silver Creek Software has always been very quick to respond to adding features, integrating with new systems, and addressing all their needs. It’s fast because it’s usually a matter of them changing what’s already inside Visual Produce to meet our specific needs – that’s why we continue to grow with and use Silver Creek Software’s Visual Produce.”

“It is almost unprecedented these days for a company to be able to use the same technology for that span of time. The Coastal Companies’ Director of IT Rich Kreuzburg chalks it up to flexibility.”

“Visual Produce is an all-purpose solution, but one that’s designed specifically for the fresh produce industry. Over the years, it’s really helped pull together all of the disparate parts of our business.”

“Most of the features and reports we use are right out of the box, because Silver Creek Software keeps up with the industry standards and keeps a pulse through various markets. We’ve done a fair amount of customizations, but the important thing is that we’re customizing what’s already in the platform instead of having to build from scratch.

In the years that I’ve worked at The Coastal Companies, Silver Creek Software has always been quick to respond to our changing needs. It’s fast because many times, it’s a matter of having to change what’s already inside Visual Produce to meet our specific needs.  When our changes have required a broader scope, Silver Creek Software’s team takes the time necessary to work all the aspects necessary to make it work for us.”

“Visual Produce is a comprehensive, all-purpose solution, and one that’s designed specifically for the fresh produce industry. Over the decades and years, as we’ve grown, Visual Produce’s adaptability has allowed for that growth and really helped pull together all the disparate parts of our business, enabling us to grow, because of our ability to work with the Silver Creek Software team customizing every aspect to our very specific needs.”

“With regulatory environment surrounding the produce industry is in a constant state of flux, Coastal Sunbelt Produce say Silver Creek Software has earned the right to remain the company’s software of record by continually improving and adapting to meet changing conditions.”

“Success in the produce business is all about analyzing your operations to capture every penny of the industry’s thin price margins. To do that, we need to be very precise when it comes to pricing, palletizing, loading and delivering each order.

Since 2001, Silver Creek Software’s capabilities and full-range of products continue to give us greater flexibility to maintain our promise to customers: ‘Quality you can trust, service that delivers.’”

“What we liked about Silver Creek Software’s WMS was that it wasn’t hard-coded with only one set of functioning rules. WMS enabled our IT department to build any algorithm we needed—to create rules that would take into account the specific properties of each product. In effect, we were able to adapt software to meet our business processes, instead of having to make our processes adapt to software.”

“Our business model is simple: We receive shipments, re-package things and provide fresh-cut produce, they go on a truck that night, and they’re in the grocery store by the next morning. In the past, when that next morning came around we were still doing the paperwork to get the orders posted from the day before. Now with Silver Creek Software everything is much more real time and we can move product in and out faster with better control. That’s good for our customers and great for our bottom line.”
