Te Mata moved to snapSales in 2022. It has improved our ability to monitor our sales and costs. There is functionality to pull data easily to analyse and summarise data.
The team are very responsive and good to work with. I would recommend for any apples business to adopt snapSales with Xero as back end.

snapGrowing has become a key data source and provides many opportunities to compile and extract data. The functionality of the system is easy for all levels of the business from field staff to our data analysis teams.
The team at CSEL are amazing to work with, with great timely responses.
Orchard Operations | Rockit Global
Having used multiple software platforms in the pipfruit industry I can honestly say that none of them have been as easy to work with, as the suite of Snap Applications. The CSEL team are made sure we had a seamlessly smooth transition when we switched systems.
We are now in our 2nd year using Snap products and continue to appreciate the increased efficiencies of using a web-based application, as we have access everywhere and on any device.
I highly recommend Snap Apps to anyone who may be looking to improve their business efficiencies and increase the flow of data. The team at CSEL are incredibly easy to work with and have on many occasions implemented change requests, virtually within just a few minutes.

Post Harvest Operations
We thoroughly enjoy how user friendly snapPacking is, and the layers within the system that you can choose or not choose to apply. Snap has made our documentation really efficient and seamless.
The staff at CSEL are also readily available and happy to help with any problems we have.
Farrah Richards | Fairfield Orchards
Packhouse Operations
After some investigations in 2023 we implemented snapSales, this has created not only efficiencies, it has enabled us to work smarter not harder, and streamlined our processes. Working with multiple packhouses & cool stores we have found that those with snapPacking have had seamless information exchange, the ability for real time tracking, as well as easy to use reporting tools.
The CSEL team are always readily available and happy to assist, and they know and understand the industry.
Hamish Davis | Fern Ridge Fresh

We have been using snapPacking and snapSales for a number of years now and I am extremely impressed with how easy and efficient it makes handling the logistics of our business and completing export documentation. The CSEL team are always available to help with any issues or queries and to work together to address and adapt to the export requirements or customer needs for our products. I would highly recommend to all.
Brandon Brookland | The Fresh Fruit Company
Logistics Supervisor
As a new export business, we have recently adopted snapSales as our primary sales and logistics platform. The team at CSEL were really helpful in their advice and support with our set up.
The user friendly interface and CSEL’s knowledge of the export industry has resulted in snapSales being a great fit for our business.
We would highly recommend them to others.
Andrew Common | Greenleaf Exports Ltd

snapPacking has been a perfect fit for our post-harvest operation and snapSales for our exporting team.
The CSEL team have produced an excellent web-based software system that is current and is backed up by their excellent service. With fast-moving changes within Market Access requirements, Snap offers great confidence as there is a great security base within the system. An easy learning platform, it is suited to all levels of user capabilities. User Roles and Rights permissions can be controlled to various levels which raises confidence in the correct outcome for the product.
Being passionate about Snap and its capabilities I certainly have no issue recommending it to others.

Snazzy Fruit Company has used snapSales for the past 2 years. Adopting new software is always a major step for any business. However, the CSEL team made this a seamless experience. They are always very responsive! The Snap software has allowed us to streamline our business, work more efficiently, and summarise data to make smarter business decisions.
Josh Parlane | Snazzy Fruit
Director
Bostock New Zealand moved to snapGrowing several years ago. This came about at the end of an exhausting search for an Orchard Management tool in which we had confidence to house our operational data into the future.
Brendan and the CSEL team gave us that confidence and were by far the best fit for the Bostock Apple Group with superior customer support. They seamlessly integrated of historic data in snapGrowing and provide functionality bespoke to the operation proving invaluable.
Fulton Gillies | Bostock New Zealand
Technical Manager
We have found snapGrowing is a very useful tool to support our orchard business. We selected snapGrowing to streamline our spray programme, but have used more and more of the systems capabilities to plan our harvest and to have a central portal for our maps, Globalgap and staff information.
Brendan, Nick and Lisa have been very responsive to our needs and we are keen to utilise more capabilities when we have time after harvest.
Sue Watts | Willisbrook Orchards
Administration Manager
We have been using snapSales for over 3 years now and it is a fantastic system, very practical, flexible and easy to use. I have used many different sales and logistics software packages over the years but snapSales is by far the best.
As it is web based it is also very easy to use on any device, or when travelling or out of the office.
Brendan, Nick and the team are very easy to work with and are always working on improvements to the system. They are very responsive to any suggestions, or in coming up with practical solutions to any issues there may be.
Greg Cassidy | Freshmax
Global Export Manager
I have used and dealt with most pipfruit industry software over the last 30 years and snapPacking is the best I have seen by a long way. CSEL are very good to deal with. They will come up with solutions over the phone and implement the same or next day. I highly recommend CSEL to any business that is looking to improve data flow and processes.
Paul Hammond | The Fresh Fruit Company of New Zealand
SnapSales has had amazing impact on our business from both a sales and grower perspective. We have been able to complete the same tasks with such efficiency that we no longer require extra staff during the season and we are now able to provide our growers with their own portal log in allowing them to have real time access to information relating to their fruit. Brendan and his team have been fundamental in ensuring the smooth transition from our old system to snapSales and I was amazed at the availability of the team and pace at which concerns or requests were dealt with.
Vanessa Shoemark | Mt Erin Group
Administration & Accounts
We have been using snapSales for two and a half years and have found it to be very flexible, highly intuitive and it has generated significant efficiencies for us.
In conjunction with this, CSEL are very experienced, understand our industry and appreciate the business implications of any customisation we request. CSEL is always available and responsive
Richard Brown | RD8 Fresh Produce Group

Following a successful implementation of snapPacking we moved on to snapGrowing to allow a seamless integration of information flow between our Orchard and Packhouse operations. Once again, the team at CSEL have produced an excellent system that is superbly backed up and have allowed us to drive further development to suit our business needs.

Working with snapPacking has been a great experience for our business. The installation and support on start-up went seamlessly. There is a high level of open communication. Any issues are handled quickly and there is a forum for implementation of user enhancements. I would not hesitate in recommending this software to others.
Peter O'Sullivan | The Fresh Fruit Company of Nelson

After completing our first season on snapPacking for summerfruit and apples we’ve been very pleased with the results. Brendan and his team have always responded quickly to our questions and requests. Our key users have quickly adapted to the system and are looking forward to next season.
Mark Parkinson | Mt Erin Limited
Site Manager
Working with snapPacking has been a great experience. The program is very intuitive and we have been able to find our way round far easier than with other programs we have used in the past. There is a lot of security in the system with regards market requirements and this leads to great confidence in this area. Being web based and so being able to access it from anywhere on any computer or device is another advantage.
The service and support has also been at a level we have not experienced before. Queries and requests for any alterations have been met very positively and timely.
Chris Dillon | The Fresh Fruit Company of New Zealand
The snapSales system has been amazing! It is all very well thought out and covers all aspects needed to complete Coolstores orders through to export documentation. It’s very quick and seamless! CSEL are always quick to answer any questions the team has and any issues are resolved instantaneously.
Sam Hope | Freshmax Exports Ltd
Export Support Co-ordinator
Was very sceptical of changing systems as thought it would be another system we had to get used to, changing systems in the middle of our busy period didn’t help, no one likes change etc etc. Finding snapSales so easy to work with. Saving so much time as so easy to understand and manipulate the different areas. Everything seems to be a lot quicker for some reason and a lot sharper.
Brendan and his team are a massive part of making the change for us go so seamlessly. Always available to answer question and work with on solutions for our ever evolving requests. Very happy with change now !!!

What you do, the short timeframe you do it in, and the problem solving has been invaluable to me and to the industry. Just look where we have got to with the USDA programme, accurate, meaningful and user friendly. The uptake has been quick and feedback positive from all quarters.

CSEL provides a very rare combination of being excellent at software development plus having a very good understanding of how a business works. They have proven to be excellent at taking an idea and turning it in to a computer reality. The service CSEL provides is friendly and efficient and I have great pleasure in highly recommending them.

I have been personally involved in a number of IT system implementations and the CSEL team come out clearly ahead in meeting customer expectations. CSEL are very good at designing a system around your business rather than your business around their system.
