Naranja Packers

How did AssetPool help?

Naranja Packers is a specialised citrus packhouse, in the Waterfalls River valley close to Burgersfort, suitably equipped for the sorting and packing of citrus fruit. This packhouse packs fruit produced by Indigo Fruit Farming in the Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, as well as fruit for other farmers within the Burgersfort region.

Prior to adopting AssetPool, Naranja Packers were using paper checklists to complete their daily inspections on their palletizer, packaging line, pallet scales, sorting lines etc. Now they have the power to complete their inspections digitally. Naranja has over 200 assets that need to be inspected daily–that equals a lot of paper that no longer needs to be filed or retrieved.

Naranja Packers had some specific pain points that they were looking to have resolved by a Smart Inspection Platform. They wanted to be able to have a live status of their machinery health. If a certain piece of equipment was in a failed state they needed to know about it immediately. They also wanted to be able to report on the history of their machines quickly and without the use of a filing system. 

The POC (proof of concept) was implemented quickly with their assets onboarded within one week. They had a trial for 14 days, then it took another 7 days to get the account 100% populated and ready for implementation.  From start to finish, it only took about 3 weeks to switch from paper to a digital inspection software. 

Our AssetPool specialist was at their premises for only 4 hours in total. After the initial face-to-face training, there have been a few queries that have been solved easily. The technicians have grasped the AssetPool app quickly and have been working more efficiently than ever before.
