In an industry where timing, accuracy, and margins matter, your ERP software should give you an advantage—not add complexity. The right solution will streamline operations, improve profitability, and help your business move faster with confidence. Choose PICS – designed for fresh produce, and you’ll be better equipped to compete, adapt, and grow.

What makes PICS software stand out?

  • All-in-one, produce-specific ERP + accounting
    • PICS is built specifically for fresh produce — inventory, traceability, buying, selling, accounting, and reporting are all in one system.
    • No need to bolt on separate traceability or accounting software; traceability is baked into transaction flows.
  • Traceability & food safety
    • Full lot-level traceability (buying → inventory → sales) for fresh produce.
    • Document attachments: ability to attach scanned QC forms, delivery docs, etc.
  • Flexible, real-world costing
    • Open-ended costing: inbound loads don’t have to be “closed” until all invoices arrive.
    • Grower-pay module — calculates pay based on revenue minus costs (freight, labour, etc.).
  • Inventory flexibility
    • Supports multiple units (case, pallet, weight, etc.).
    • Lot control or FIFO per product.
    • Unlimited warehouses, bin locations, barcode support.
  • Modular and scalable
    • Add-ons for production (“work orders”), brokerage, reporting (PRE), web/mobile access (WebPICS), emailing/faxing (EmFx).
    • Cloud option: “PICS in the Cloud” is ready to deploy, offering quick setup, remote access, and 99.99% uptime.
  • Affordable
    • For a single user, PICS software, updates and hosting on a dedicated server is $288/month and around $150/additional user.
    • Because it’s produce-specialized, users often avoid the “ERP + separate traceability system” cost trap.

Who uses PICS ERP software?

PICS is the practical, produce-specific ERP software package built for wholesalers, distributors, jobbers, and growers who need accurate inventory, built-in traceability, flexible costing, and integrated accounting – without the heavy cost of complexity of large ERP systems.
