The Solution
As food demands continue to grow around the world, so does the technological needs of growers, especially as food comes from multiple international sources. It's also increasingly important for growers to have full visibility and product traceability across the supply chain as more and more consumers demand to know where their food comes from. Frequentz's GS1 and global compliant solutions deliver the ability to track and analyze historical data as well as the dexterity to handle rapid operational queries from supply partners. This reduces repetitive data gathering and provides accurate records and reporting on such things as specific crop information, irrigation or even soil testing. These solutions can help identify potential sources of contamination or assist in monitoring cold chain or temperature controlled logistics, which naturally lead to better responses to recall events.
