Equerra

• NZ and Australian fresh produce packhouses and exporters

  Covers grower management, pallet tracking, consignment trade, pool accounting and export documentation in one Business Central system.

• Grower co-operatives

  The vendor lists co-operatives among its best fits and says the system supports co-operative pools, consignment and direct-purchase grower payment models.

Less suited to: Very large enterprise operations; the vendor's own comparison points these to Infor or SAP, and names Pricom as a strong option for NZ kiwifruit and apple packhouses.

• Consignment trade and commission

  ProduceLinc calculates commissions and tracks performance by grower, variety, grade and market.

• Pallet tracking

  A Pallet Wizard and Pallet Editor create and modify pallets, which are tracked through storage, consolidation and to market.

• FEFO and shelf-life management

  Enforces first-expiry-first-out and tracks shelf life by lot with hold periods and customer-specific rules (via Yaveon 365).

• Quality control and inspection plans

  Captures quality checks at receival, grading and dispatch, with structured inspection plans and electronic signatures.

• Export compliance

  Handles MPI phytosanitary certificates, GLOBALG.A.P. records, biosecurity, HACCP workflows and organic certification tracking, with documentation for China, Japan, the US, EU and UK.

  Allocates freight, plans container loads and tracks containers through API integrations.

  Integrates with temperature monitoring systems and flags excursions against the affected lots and pallets.

  Forecasts demand by market and plans supply allocation and seasonal harvest.

Pricing model

Fixed-price implementation project

Equerra publishes a one-time fixed project price from NZ$80,000 for a Business Central implementation (NZ$120,000 to NZ$250,000 for mid-sized packhouses with grading-line integration), excluding GST, with unlimited post go-live support. This is a project fee, so no recurring price is listed. Microsoft user licences are separate and are quoted as NZ$129.40 per user per month for Essentials and NZ$178.00 for Premium; those are Microsoft's licences, not Equerra's product.
