Industry Challenges

The Reality of Fresh Produce Wholesaling

Small margins, unpredictable supply, and increasing competition make every decision critical. One wrong forecast can wipe out weeks of profit.

Razor-Thin Margins

Operating on 2–5 % margins means every percentage point counts. Overstock, stock-outs and inefficient planning can wipe out weekly profits in a single day.

Every mistake costs money you can't spare

Forecasting Chaos

Unpredictable demand, extreme weather and supply shocks make planning feel impossible when you're stuck in spreadsheets. It also causes mistakes and limits knowledge sharing.

Spreadsheets weren't built for chaos

Competitor Pressure

Competition is using real-time data and advanced forecasting systems to out-price and out-source you. Without clear visibility, you're left guessing.

Don't let competitors leave you behind

Sound Familiar?

These challenges don't have to define your business. There's a better way to forecast, plan, and profit in fresh produce.
