raintree, a South African-based system integrator and IT consultancy that specialises in implementing, supporting and optimising Microsoft technologies, has partnered with Matumi Fresh to maintain exceptional levels of customer service and satisfaction by optimising legacy technology.
Matumi Fresh, a family-run business established in 1995, provides fresh fruit and vegetables to the five-star hospitality industry. The business has grown from a small local supplier of high-quality goods to lodges, hotels and restaurants in the Mpumalanga region to become a trusted name in hospitality distribution, with more than 100 employees and a fleet of 30 delivery vehicles.
The company needed to streamline its operations and optimise and update its systems to ensure it could efficiently keep up with customer demand, which led it to Microsoft Business Central.
“ When our customers order something, they need to get exactly what they want, when they want it, which means we need systems capable of meeting this demand perfectly,” said Nick Wood, General Manager at Matumi Fresh Group.“ Our inventory management, especially from a cost accounting point of view, wasn’ t keeping up with our needs, and we also wanted to refine and optimise our procurement, back-end and logistics systems. It was essential that our operations levelled up to business growth.” The original system could not keep up, but the Braintree offering for Matumi Fresh delivered exactly what the business required. The system recommended by Braintree included the right processes and scale. As Wood said:“ There was very little we needed to add; Braintree understood what we wanted right from the start.”

From farm to infrastructure modernisation
Matumi Fresh needed a modern, integrated system capable of handling rapid inventory movement, complex cost accounting and daily price fluctuations. The existing platform lacked flexibility, and the business wanted greater accuracy across inventory and reporting. Braintree removed the complexity with a smooth migration from an on-premises legacy enterprise resource
