Cal-Tex Citrus Juice and Edible Software Mark 10-Year Anniversary of Successful Accounting Partnership

    HOUSTON, TX, December 25, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Cal-Tex Citrus Juice, LP and Edible Software, a wholesale food accounting software company, will mark their 10-year association as business partners in 2009.

"We're proud that our inventory control software is a part of the Cal-Tex success story," says Henri Morris, CPA, president and CEO of Edible Software. "I remember the day ten years ago when Carol Bailey first contacted us. She was researching accounting software that could help Cal-Tex manage their galloping growth."

Cal-Tex Citrus Juice, LP - located in Houston's historic Heights neighborhood - is a 57-year-old family-owned fruit juice company that specializes in manufacturing portion fruit juices for schools, hospitals and assisted living facilities. Cal-Tex juices sell under three brands: Vita-Fresh, Citrus Pride and Vita-Most.

Gary Van Liew, president and CEO of Cal-Tex, says his family's products are 100 percent juice, including orange, apple, grape and prune. The business operates under continuous USDA inspection, "as an additional layer of quality assurance," he says.

"Cal-Tex packages millions of units of juice per week for such distributor/customers as Sysco and Glazier Foods," says Van Liew.

Bailey, who is secretary-treasurer, smiles when she recalls the way the Cal-Tex accounting office once processed the company's 500-plus checks sent out each month. "Ten years ago, we did each one of them manually - on a typewriter."

Van Liew also has accounting memories. "Before Edible," he says, "I had to wait 30 days to see a month-end report. Now, I have a report whenever I need it." He says Edible Software has accommodated Cal-Tex growth "with no need to hire additional employees. Having Edible means we are in a position to react quickly to market changes."
