D & F McCarthy are a wholesale distribution business of fresh fruit and vegetables. The company works with a large number of suppliers, ranging from small market gardeners to major importers.

The business was founded in 1877 by Thomas McCarthy and was later passed down to his son, Daniel. Throughout its 125+ years of existence, D & F McCarthy has remained a family-run business and now Martin, Simon, David and Peter have become the fifth generation of the family actively engaged in the running of the company. In 2009, the first representative of the sixth generation, Simon's son Daniel, joined the firm.

Distribution and Manufacturing

The new system needed to be tailored to D&F McCarthy’s sector and accurate management of stock was a crucial requirement to be met. Stock handling is at the heart of the McCarthys' business and the Distribution and Manufacturing module allows McCarthy to carry this out with ease. For this module, stock management is the hub in which all the software’s other processes work. McCarthy know that they are able to rely on the accuracy of the system.

De Facto's Price List features were another of the powerful attributes of the software that really stood out for D&F McCarthy. McCarthy have been able to take real advantage of this in the way that the system handles multiple price lists and gives them the ability to offer and match price lists to particular customers. Being in the food industry, McCarthy needed a system which could handle the fluctuation of fresh produce and De Facto ERP’s ability to manage catchweights is an essential part of the daily use of the system.
