Our experience working with food data can help your organization profit while building a better food system.
why we do it
The food system needs to be improved. There is simply too much waste and inefficiency. For industry participants willing to innovate, there is enormous opportunity to grow revenues, enhance profits, and make a social impact. Our technology enables the free flow of data necessary for innovation. And, we’re using that data to offer a wide range of solutions. Let’s work together to create a food system that is a win for buyers, suppliers, the communities they serve, and the environment.
What we’ve done
Grocery retailers, distributors, and vendors exchange information to agree on in-store promotions. Often this process involves repetitive spreadsheets, manual data entry, and is prone to time consuming errors. We’ve built a promotion management system that automatically checks product availability, accuracy, and in-market performance. This saves time, the associated costs, and allows trading partners to focus on stronger relationships over manual tasks.
A national franchise concept already had a tool for each location to place orders. However, they were struggling to get real time product and price information in a standardized format from their 40+ suppliers. Working with the methodology each supplier preferred, we integrated their supply chain thereby providing valuable information and automating the procurement process. The result was improved decision making at each location, time savings, and enhanced supply chain visibility at HQ.
Smaller farms sometimes struggle to reach larger buyers. By integrating with software the farms are already using, we’re placing their product availability data directly where the buyer needs it; their own buying tool. Working with regional non-profits, school districts and farm management systems we are reducing purchase friction and driving sales for local farmers. It’s a win for schools, their students, and the local economy.
