Syngenta Flowers, Inc. Syngenta Flowers is dedicated to the breeding of innovative flower varieties that offer outstanding performance in the professional greenhouse, at retail, in the landscape and in the home garden. They are one of the largest wholesale breeders of flower cuttings in the world. In late 2007, Syngenta purchased Fischer Companies which was powered by a unique ERP system created by Latitude 40 founders Andrew Anderson and Daniel DeLeeuw. Their objective when approached by Fischer back in 1998 was to provide a common platform that would unite Fischer's worldwide sales organizations with their various types of cutting production sites located all over the world. Over the years, this system evolved into a tool with modules covering pretty much every aspect of the business making it very efficient and productive. (See below for a description of some of these areas and functionalities.) This software continues to be used by Syngenta today; however, one of the current projects at Syngenta is the creation of a new SAP/.NET based platform combining the functionalities of both Syngenta and Fischer legacy software into a single platform. As business process analysts/experts from the Fischer business, Latitude 40 has been played a critical consulting role in this endeavor, working alongside Infosys and other consulting firms to get it done. Logistics With diverse production sites located around the world supplying product globally, the logistics behind such an operation require creative automation help. Workload is reduced with software that assists with the harvesting and shipping processes, including batch printing of shipping documents such as packing lists, box content labels, bills of lading, proforma invoices and other mandatory paperwork required by export and import agencies such as the USDA, USDHS and other foreign government agencies. Track & Trace Real-time USDA required tracking of product from production to harvest to retail through barcoding with limited labor needs. Tracking accuracy cannot be taken lightly as large companies have been shut down due to disease that couldn't be tracked according to the needs of the US government. When the traceability USDA legal requirement went into effect, most companies implemented a standard system of barcoding and scanning throughout their supply chain which added significant overhead to their shipping processes. Given the high volume of product we ship in peak-season (millions of flower cuttings per week), we sought a more advanced solution to limit that overhead. Together with Latitude 40, an ingenious system of tracking was developed that requires virtually no scanning whatsoever and actually improves our performance in terms of efficiency and quality. Achim Hitzigrath President, Vivero International (Syngenta Supplier) Sales Forecasting & Demand Planning This tool provides views into current and past weekly sales figures with future projections allowing the creation and comparison of multiple sample offering scenarios. Ultimately, this becomes the completed demand plan for upcoming seasons which is in turn reverse engineered into a production plan. Availability/Capacity Algorithm One of the treasures of the system is the ability to provide the customer with accurate availability for all products and for any required delivery time whether it's over a year from today or if the product is needed immediately. While we can't disclose the algorithm behind this calculation, we can tell you that the combination of the algorithm and good procedural discipline has led to the highest availability accuracy level in the industry. Order Entry & Maintenance Most orders come in seamlessly via B to B connections with their largest brokers. The others are entered using a very user-friendly module that allows for speedy and accurate data entry. All orders are bound by the constraint of availability/capacity that is kept updated with direct links to the production sites around the world. In the case of any kind of availability reduction causing shortages, another tool allows for easy batch order adjustments where the most appropriate orders are easily adjusted through product substitution, back ordering, or direct shortage. Federal Express Automation Combine the standard FedEx label and the various types of internal box content labels into a single customized label so one label can be applied to a box rather than two. This saves valuable time and reduces labeling errors. Preprint these labels in a batch operation days in advance of shipment and report the tracking numbers to customers as a pre-notification of shipment. Create labels at foreign farms that have domestic origins when scanned after US import clearance. This gives the customer the ability to ship Domestic Express with bottom line savings over International Priority charges.

Americade Attracting an estimated 50,000 enthusiasts, Americade is the largest motorcycle touring rally in the world. This week-long annual event features massive trade shows with nearly 250 vendors, demos and displays from most major motorcycle manufacturers, catered boat cruises, guided tours in the beautiful Adirondack Park and the Green Mountains of Vermont, exclusive rodeos, stunt shows, laser shows, comedy clubs and much, much more. Software created by Latitude 40 helps manage the complexity involved in the organization of such an event. Targeted Marketing The Americade system tracks information on riders such as years participated, how the rider found out about Americade, the rider's motorcycle make and model and previous packages purchased. This information is used to create targeted marketing so interested riders can be kept up to date on Americade events. Ticket Sales This module keeps track of ticket purchases for Americade entry as well as the optional activities from horseback rides, steamboat cruises, hot air balloon rides, various seminars and drawings, etc. Ticket holders can request itineraries and printed tickets for their paid-for events at any time. Event Management Activities are originally planned based on an estimated attendance, but ticket sales for each event are carefully monitored to ensure that proper arrangements are made ahead of time should sales go better or worse than expected. If higher attendance at a popular event is simply not possible, the system will help prevent overselling of the event. Americade.com
Direct Dental Plans of America DDP utilizes a custom ERP solution to help manage their offerings of low-cost dental, vision, prescription, chiropractic, and massage benefits. This solution was created many years ago and helped support the initial stages of business growth. However, as DDP evolved, the database became increasingly overburdened by the size and scope of business that DDP was growing to be. After over a decade of such growth and increasing system manipulation outside its original intent, the tool eventually started to bottleneck company expansion. Latitude 40 was hired to solve that bottleneck by modernizing the system to simplify their processes and add the modules listed below. B2B (Business to Business) Module DDP not only offers their own plans/benefits but also those provided by multiple external vendors. B to B account synchronization with these partners handles the inadequacies and inefficiencies of the manual and error-prone processes that were previously required. Accounting Module Full register for customer accounts with tracking of all financial activity. Automatic charges occurring at appropriate times in billing cycle. Monthly statements listing all financial activity for the month with a current account balance and payment options. Depending on customer preference, these can be automatically e-mailed to the customer or batch-printed and mailed the old fashioned way. Custom Report Writing Module This module was implemented to give the users complete control over their reporting needs to solve the problem of having to bring the IT person in whenever a new type of report was needed. This led to valuable time and money savings. Automated Payment Processing Module Batch ACH payments via integration with local bank and batch credit card payments via integration with QuickBooks Merchant Services. A click of a button processes payments for all customers authorizing monthly ACH transfers or credit card charges. Automatic credit card validation at data entry time. Automatic and immediate rejection of credit card charge in the event of insufficient funds. Chargeback handling in the case of insufficient funds after ACH request.

This proprietary eCommerce site provides growers a self-service, price efficient system to place, track and edit orders.

With systems innovations that will save time, centralize processes, and organize information, ePlantSource is the answer many growers have been looking for. Ordering & Real-Time Availability Some of the biggest challenges in the industry are how to determine who will have availability of what you need week by week throughout the season and then placing and maintaining individual orders with each of those suppliers. It is a very time consuming activity that has been relegated to the brokerages and is, in fact, the main reason that the entire industry is one of the few remaining that still uses a brokerage system. The main logistical problem with a page like this is performance. With potentially tens of thousands of availability records being populated into a single non-paged grid, you can imagine how much time that might take to prepare and display to the user. We put significant time into that issue and are now able to render a grid of 20,000 availability records in just a few seconds. On the order summary page, you can choose how you'd like to pay Credit Card Management Direct integration with Authorize.net allows us to securely store all credit card information offsite in the Authorize.net vault in a way that is fully compliant with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Credit cards are charged through additional Authorize.net API automatically at the appropriate time. Online Product Catalog Customers can browse the product catalog to see pictures and get all kinds of other information about each product offered by every supplier. This kind of detailed catalog providing information from so many different sources is a rarity in the industry. Instant Notifications Customer e-mail notifications occur instantly when an order is placed, changed or shipped, when a supplier has any communications they are sending out, etc. This automatic communication mechanism is very important for any internet based business because it provides timely communications to your customers without the need for extensive personnel.
