US-based avocado leader Mission Produce has chosen TMC, a division of CH Robinson, to help better manage its complex supply chain.
In picking TMC Mission cited the group's global technology and experience managing food and beverage supply chains, including other leading fresh produce companies.
Mission Produce has responded to increasing consumer demand by expanding fields and growing regions to provide more avocados year round. As a result it needed a transportation management system (TMS) provider with extensive experience in managing global supply chains.
“Mission Produce was looking for a provider who could give them better visibility into their supply chain, end to end, and in real time,” said Duff Davidson, vice-president of managed services at TMC. “Things such as better reporting, increased carrier satisfaction, route optimisation, and a tool that helps with spot bidding - TMC’s global TMS, Navisphere - has these capabilities and more.”
