Problem we are solving
Food quality & traceability are major global issues, where the lack of information in the supply chain leads to the loss of ~15% of the food from production before it even reaches the consumer. In the fish value chain a large proportion of these losses are related to
1)inaccurate or inefficient temperature control along the cold chain leading to suboptimal fish conditions and fish durability
2)inability to quantitatively assess quality early on in the value chain (making difficult for aquacultures to determine if fish should be sold to the local market or at a distant market or if the lot should be sold as full fish or fish filets, leading to product returns, downgrades or even product recalls)
3)lack of fully transparent and digitized post harvest processing (increased production costs or loss of traceability records ).

Our unique solution fuses Traceability, Predictive Microbiology, Spectroscopy (NIR) and AI to provide a comprehensive food tracking & quality system from farm to fork. Our solution, besides digitally securing traceability in accordance with GDST global standards, can also predict food expiration date and establish early on food quality characteristics on the field.

Sustainable Impact on Blue Ecconomy
The platform’s value proposition:
1. Reduce costs and fish losses (Up to 20% reduction of overharvest)
2. Improve fish quality ( Up to 10% reduction of fish downgrading)
3. Increase consumer’s Willingness to Pay
