Four generations of Nunes family members created and participate in all areas of daily operations — growing, harvesting, cooling, sales and marketing — for numerous products on more than 18,000 acres in California, Arizona and Nevada.
“We did a deep dive into the leading PTI solutions including field pilots,” said Peter Townsend, IT Director and Evangelist, Nunes. “FoodLink stood out with its simple licensing model, inexpensive cost and mature ERP integration tools.
