G’s Fresh faced several challenges due to the United Kingdom’s departure from the European Union, known as Brexit. The new trade rules imposed by Brexit created complexities regarding import and export processes between the UK and EU, specifically for their farms located in the UK and Spain. To remain compliant with these new regulations, G’s Fresh required the development of a new system to manage transportation and customs documentation more efficiently.
PearlArc partnered with G’s Fresh to design and implement a Transport Management Platform (TMP) to address the challenges posed by Brexit. The solution included:

- System Integration: Integrated data from JDE and Java systems to enhance reporting and operational management.
- Customs Module: Developed a custom module to streamline the creation of regulatory travel documentation for exports between Spain and the UK.
- Power BI Integration: Enriched the application with Microsoft Power BI to provide insights into data through charts and graphs, improving decision-making.
The solutions provided by PearlArc led to a streamlined export/import process, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and improving decision-making. This contributed to a 30% increase in overall growth and compliance
