Our client is a leading secure storage firm and an industry leader with excellent products. The organization faced the challenge of optimizing its processes with the need for automation and visibility.

The client is one of the world’s leading vertically integrated producers, marketers, and distributors of high-quality fresh and fresh-cut fruits and vegetables (FFV). It has more than 90,000 acres under production and 20 ships and is a leading producer and distributor of prepared fruits and vegetables, juices, beverages, and snacks, whose products are available in more than 100 countries throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

Supply chains are a complex orchestration of people, places, and things. Globalization, pressure from competitors, and increasing customer expectations have all combined to push organizations towards expanded and diverse partner networks, and for Transportation Services and Logistics providers (TSLs), the landscape is even more complex.

Y. Hata & Co., Limited has been an essential part of Hawaii’s economy for more than 108 years. Yoichi Hata and his wife started the company as a “mom-and-pop” operation in 1913, selling products (wholesale) out of a family garage on the Big Island of Hawaii. But the visionary founder soon transformed the modest backyard operation into a prolific statewide network.
