Wholesale

The whole sale for fresh potatoes, vegetables and onions is a very important segment for Allround. There are several overlaps between whole sales and retail. In retail, we have also included the segments of hospitals, restaurants, hotels and institutes. These groups of customers can also be assigned to the whole sale. At whole sale, we assume that the products are delivered in larger packages. This packaging can vary from a full bulk truck of potatoes to the French fries or chips factory. Cubic bins, big bags or 50 kg jute bags for retail pack houses. Whole sales usually work with larger quantities. We need to pay even more attention to efficiency, logistics and labor savings here than in the other customer categories. Together with you, we create extensive product flow charts. We are looking at how we can organize track and trace to the customer and suppliers. In order to be able to monitor the entire process as well as possible, we can place weighing belts on the parts you want in the line. In combination with the weighing belts and our experience in the field of logistics solutions, we can offer you surprising solutions.

Processing Lines

Allround has a very wide range of processing lines for wholesale. We are specialists for potatoes, carrots and onions. However we also supply lines and solutions for other beet root vegetables. We are not equipped for the processing of fruit. Either for processing or for storage. In a wholesale operation, as we have formulated in the header, we have six main functions. However, there is one constant that is not listed here and that is that the margins are often thin. We have to be very rational when it comes to processing at wholesale. At Allround, we have supplied hundreds of lines and installations all over the world for wholesale sector. We can show you examples from all continents and products. However, we also have solutions specifically for the Indian reality in our delivery program. In our delivery program we have lines from three ton per hour to more than a hundred tons per hour. In principle, the capacity doesn’t matter. We need come to a rational and efficient logistic and processing. With our unique way of working, based on the six criteria, labor saving, logistics, finished product, integration and communication, calculations and project planning, we form a team with you to find the best solution. For an overview of line and can visit the Allround Vegetable Processing website . Several examples have also been included in projects on this site. Of course, we have an extensive YouTube channel with more than one hundred seventy five films of machines, lines and installation. Show link

Management tools

As mentioned in the above section on the processing lines, we have found that the margins in wholesale are generally small. It is therefore of the utmost importance to constantly monitor the entire process for data. Together with you, we create a dashboard in which we constantly measure all relevant facts. So we make the sample of the entire process / batch. Discussion is then no longer possible, the facts speak for themselves. We can make an overview of these measurements on a daily, weekly, monthly or annual basis. Of course, we can also make an overview of the entire history. From here you can distill a bench market and further adjust your goals. Where do we missing opportunities with regard to efficiency? Which suppliers actually cost money every year? With the Allround Data Management system, you no longer have to react based on gut feeling. We generate all the data that is important to the suppliers. For ex-ample, how much soil is supplied with it. Is this in accordance with the agreements/contract made? Is this amount of soil normal when you compare it to the multi-year average? What is the grading picture of the delivered product. Do we get the different sizes delivered in the right pro-portions? With how many people we need to do manually inspection. On the other hand, we also want to keep an eye on electricity consumption. How many operating hours do we make with the machines? With a washing installation, we need to be able to measure water consumption. How much fresh water do I use and how much do I recycle. Authorities around the world are becoming more and more critical on this. There are many different points in the process where we can develop a tailor-made dashboard for you together.

Weighing & Packaging & Electronic Sorting 

Weighing and packaging is an inseparable part of a wholesale organization. When you see the calculation at retail that we have made for packing 1 kg bags, it is clear to pay very close attention to this part of your operation. Small deviations per package can cause huge differences per year. Of course, you also have to organize the weighing and packaging in an efficient way. Your routing and logistics must be super clear. For weighing and packaging, we work together with the Dutch weighing and packaging machine manufacturer Manter. For the whole sale, Manter has very high-capacity weighers in their program. At Allround we make the AW 50. This machine is a semi-automatic weighing machine and is ideally suited for weighing 25 kg and 50 kg bags. We sell about hundred of these machine per year. Hyperlink Weighing and packaging is inextricably linked to inspecting of the product. The question arises more and more whether part or whole inspection can be done by electronic sorters. In the market for fresh production, the hu-man final check remains indispensable. Allround works together with various electronic sorter brands. It is not so easy to find the right sorter for the specifically Indian conditions. The ma-chine and the software must fit seamlessly with Indian reality. The service and aftercare and updates must also be immediately available. We are therefore in the process of developing it ourselves. This will also be used in the processing industry, retail and of course wholesale.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus Page Maker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
