Optimize your food & agriculture supply chain

Increasingly demanding customers and suppliers, stronger traceability focus and new technologies are altering the way Food & Agriculture companies do business. Find out how you can lead this transformation.

Today’s Food & Agriculture businesses face a host of new challenges. Customers want to know exactly what they consume: from which grower in which country is the product? Is it grown, harvested and processed in a safe and environmental-friendly way? And in a way that optimises the nutritional value? Suppliers want a flexible business partner, who can commit to a long term volume contract combined with short-term process cycles and who can help them leverage new technologies on smart farming and the Internet of Things. More stringent food safety regulations and fierce competition force Food & Agriculture companies to optimise their traceability and recipe management.

To overcome these challenges, Food & Agriculture companies need to bring all of their processes together in one platform – with tailored ERP solutions providing integrated planning and transparency across the supply chain.

If you’re aiming for higher quality, a more sustainable production process, and safety and transparency in food production, you need software solutions that are developed with the Food & Agri industry in mind. Solutions that are able to support your entire supply chain from field to fork.

To get you ahead of the curve in your industry, our experts share their experiences and insights. Stories that come straight from the fields and the factories to your plate: these are the four ingredients you need to stay relevant in the Food & Agri industry:
