Fresh produce - a logistic challenge

Why is reduction of food waste such a challenge?
Food is not homogenous in its characteristics. There are considerable variations in quality, shelf-life and safety. Yet we have very few insights into the true properties of a specific patch or pallet. This makes good planning the combination of experience and guessing.
Fresh produce and other perishable products have a very limited shelf-life. This largely reduces the optimization options. By the time you find out that a product is about to spoil, there is very little you can do.
On the other hand, some product batches have a longer shelf-life than expected. Just reordering based on a fixed schedule will only provoke stocking up merchanise until it spoils.

Economy & Ecology

Reliable data for better planning saves money & helps the environment

Sustainability is only sustainable if all of its aspects of the daily food supply chain are considered and respected. Through optimized logistics and accurate demand and order forecasting, food waste can be avoided before it begins. But this requires data, accurate and reliable data.

Safety first!

Safety plus sustainability = long-term winner!

Fighting food waste may not lead to safety risks. Already today we know many food borne diseases. Relying on your smell and taste alone may have severe effects on your health, if the product is contaminated with salmonella or listeria. If we want to improve the sustainability of our food system, we need to start with our safety and quality assurance processes.

That why we created FreshIndex:
A connected system to assess the true quality, safety and shelf-life of food.
