The F4F toolset is built using a simple, yet powerful architecture, which exploits the speed and accessibility of the Internet and combines it with our own Java-based underlying software, creatively designed web pages and industry-leading XML-based document standards. The key components of the F4F toolset are: • The B2B platform, which not only enables electronic document exchange between trading partners, but also incorporates a suite of web-based Supply Chain Management applications to help you integrate your systems more tightly with those of your customers and suppliers. • The Enterprise Service Bus (eBus) for managing both internal systems integration and connection to the outside world • A portfolio of Websites built to your own specifications and tailored to showcase your product set. These sites may be either purely content-based or integrated into the B2B platform, so that any orders placed by your customers can be delivered directly into your back-office system • The F4F XML Document Standards: XML is the file format in which all business documents and other files are sent between systems and Websites in the F4F architecture. Designed with the specific needs of the agricultural industry in mind, these standards help to ensure that you only need one connection to F4F for all of your trading partners |

F4F reduces costs, increases sales and improves customer service for agricultural organisations. We do this by increasing the efficiency of commerce at all levels of the agriculture supply chain from hauliers, farmers, cooperatives, merchants, distributors to raw material manufacturers. By connecting computer systems to our trading hub we enable the electronic exchange of financial and logistical information, thus eliminating manual processing which in turn improves accuracy and removes processing and handling costs |
