Background F4F currently works with many of the leading agri-food businesses in the seed, crop protection, animal health and fertiliser sectors. F4F’s business over the last 10 years has been shaped by the need of the industry to move from the traditional linear supply-chain to the farmer centric model where the needs of the consumer and retailer can be managed with optimum efficiency. Unique to the business is the fusing between the business solutions framework and the integration toolset which enables the business to rapidly and cost effectively customise solutions that can be engineered into existing business processes and systems. Increasingly, F4F is involved in bringing together solutions where the scope is focussed on helping deliver new business processes that extend the reach of the core ERP system to all the points in the supply-chain. Enabling participation with all points is a given, the focus is now on the process of turning data into information. The speed, volume and variety of different data sources means that organisations need a partner skilled in both connectivity and the delivery of applications. The company was formed in the UK in 2000 and has since expanded into 4 continents with 11 international offices. All F4F infrastructure was virtualised in 2012 and all business solutions and integration services are available locally or SAAS.
