Problem
Food producers and retailers often lack precise, real-time insight into produce freshness, leading to overstocking, spoilage, and significant waste throughout the supply chain.
Solution
See Produce applies artificial intelligence and computer‑vision models to continuously monitor the condition of fresh produce. By capturing images of items at various stages—harvest, storage, and retail display—the platform detects early signs of spoilage and predicts remaining shelf life. These analytics are delivered instantly to growers, distributors, and retailers via a web dashboard, enabling more accurate ordering, dynamic inventory adjustments, and reduced discard of perfectly good food. The system integrates with existing workflow tools, providing actionable alerts that help businesses align supply with actual freshness, thereby conserving resources and labor invested in each crop.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial growers, wholesale distributors, and retail grocery chains that manage large volumes of fresh produce and need to optimize ordering and reduce waste.
