## The client

Nature's Chef belongs to a third-generation family of farmers who grow quality, fresh fruit and vegetables — among the finest produce in the country.

## The brief

Selling produce online isn't like selling boxed goods. Items are priced and packed **by weight**, orders need to flow into the farm's business system, and the owner needs to know **exactly what was ordered, what was weighed and what was shipped** to each customer. The goal was to make the farm's economic operation more efficient — not just to put products on a website.

## What we built

We specified, designed and developed the site, and delivered the ERP connection **in collaboration with Koltech Information Systems**, specialists in Priority implementation.

### A responsive produce store

The store works on desktop and is fully responsive, so customers can browse and order from any mobile device.

### Priority ERP integration

The site is **connected to the Priority ERP**, so orders don't have to be re-entered by hand and the farm's back office works from the same data as the storefront.

### Weighing carts

**Weighing carts** are connected to the products. Weight-based items are handled accurately from order to packing, closing the loop between what the customer ordered and what actually left the farm.

> **The same pattern, reused**
>
> We've applied a similar setup — Priority connection plus weighing carts, payment processing and automatic invoicing — for [Pri VeYerek](https://npcoding.ca/portfolio/pri-veyerek/), a wholesale and retail produce business.

## How we worked

Integration projects succeed when the business process comes before the code: the order-to-shipping flow defines what the storefront, the ERP and the scales each need to do. We specified the site around that flow and delivered the Priority connection together with Koltech.

## The outcome

The farm sells online with its storefront, ERP and weighing process working as one — so the owner can see exactly what was ordered, weighed and shipped to every customer.
