Summary

AGRIVI Traceability provides detailed information about the whole product lifecycle, from planting and harvesting to purchase by the final consumer. It shows each stage of the production process, including where the product was grown, inputs used, and quality control procedures to guarantee product safety. Being able to include QR codes on their products, food and beverage producers and retailers can be transparent to consumers about a product's journey from the farm to the shop. Consumers can generate a complete traceability report simply by scanning the QR code.

Case Studies

Case I

  • Client: Nestlé (Global)

  • Background: Nestlé is a leader in the global food and beverage sector. With sustainability and food safety as top priorities, the company has published standards that contractors across its vast supply chain are required to comply with. To meet this objective, supply chain traceability is crucial for Nestlé.

  • Challenge: Nestlé faced several complex challenges in managing its supply chain for fresh produce. Ensuring the quality and safety of products was key. With produce sourced from multiple farms, often across different regions, maintaining consistent quality standards posed a significant hurdle. Traceability from farm to table was essential to meet regulatory requirements and to quickly address any food safety issues, such as contamination or recalls. Nestlé needed a system capable of handling vast amounts of data from diverse sources, including information on planting, harvesting, transportation, and storage conditions.

  • Result: Nestlé's implementation of the Traceability software reportedly led to 100% supply chain transparency. It gave suppliers the tools they needed to comply with the high sustainability and food safety standards contained in Nestlé's Responsible Sourcing Standards.

Case II

  • Client: Kaufland (Croatia)

  • Introduction: Kaufland, a leading European retail chain, sought to enhance its supply chain transparency and food safety standards by adopting the AGRIVI Traceability software. With a diverse product range and a significant emphasis on fresh produce, Kaufland aimed to ensure that its products met the highest quality and safety standards while also providing transparency to consumers. By integrating AGRIVI's advanced traceability system, Kaufland intended to gain a comprehensive view of its entire supply chain, from farm to shelf, thereby boosting consumer trust and operational efficiency.

  • Challenge: With growing customer demand for transparency and local sourcing, the company saw the importance of providing a traceability solution informing customers about the provenance of products while also supporting local suppliers. Kaufland Croatia needed a solution that offered more than existing sourcing methods. The goal was to establish a system that would help create a deeper connection between consumers and the origin of the goods they buy.

  • Results: The Traceability software helped Kaufland to monitor the whole production process, from the farm to retail shelf. This extensive visibility allowed Kaufland to quickly spot and deal with issues in the supply chain, lowering the risk of food safety risks and ensuring the general quality of its fresh fruits and vegetables. The software also fostered better communication and coordination with suppliers, ensuring that the same quality and safety standards were adopted across the board. As a result, Kaufland not only improved its operational efficiency but also boosted consumer confidence in its products.

Market Outlook

The market for compliance and traceability solutions, valued at $3.17 Billion in 2022, is expected to reach $7.60 Billion by 2029 (source: Maximize Market Research). Along with AGRIVI Traceability, other offerings on the traceability solutions market include SafetyCulture, Inspired Technology Systems, VicinityFood, and Safetychain. As consumers across the world increasingly look out for sustainability and safety related information and regulations prescribe or mandate traceability across product supply chains, the demand for traceability solutions is likely to be sustained demand for traceability solutions going forward.
