F4F Agriculture Products & Services

At the centre of our service model lies a robust and mature B2B trading platform, established across several continents, enabling you to exchange information up and down your supply chain.

Where we add real value, however, is through the range of services we have built on top of the base B2B layer. This portfolio enables you to exploit your capability to connect with the outside world via F4F. It offers a range of mobile and web-based solutions which can help you and your partners to:

• reduce costs
• improve efficiency
• increase service levels
• develop your customer and supplier relationships

These services have evolved to meet the demands of a marketplace which is undergoing radical transformation. The agri/food market increasingly has to face up to the challenges of:

• globalisation
• changing relationships in the supply chain
• increasing regulation
• the propagation of internet and mobile technology

This complete ecommerce portfolio is underpinned by the strength of operational infrastructure necessary to provide a secure and reliable operation:

• 4 global data centres
• enterprise wide message tracking
• a vast choice of connectivity services
• a 24x7 international Support Desk

The services are available singly or in conjunction with the core B2B service on an open SaaS (Software as a Service) basis, and have something to offer your organization, whatever your role within the industry. Click on the links to find out more:
