Fresh food: reinvent yourself or die
Today, traditional fresh food is one of the most traded and consumed food resources in the world. From the fishmonger to the greengrocer, the butcher, the baker and the creamer, this sprawling industry generates tens of millions of direct and indirect jobs.
But for how long?
The industry faces many challenges:
- economic,
- environmental,
- regulatory
- and food safety.
To overcome them, it has no other choice than to reinvent itself.
For Klarys, technology is the key to meeting these challenges.
Klarys evolves to meet the growing needs of the industry
As a pioneer in the digitalization of purchasing in the food industry, Klarys has developed a complete e-procurement platform to meet the specific needs of buyers and distributors of fresh food products (Fishmonger's - Butcher's - Produce shop - Bakery - Creamery). The standardization of product references, the structuring of catalogs, the updating of stocks, the invoicing, so many daily challenges solved in a single software.
Renaud Enjalbert, co-founder and CEO: "After working for 7 years with the seafood industry, it was important to be able to support our customers in all their fresh food departments. Seafood, Fruit & Vegetables, Butchery, are very different sectors but they share the same complexities: non-standard products, non-adapted IS, manual tasks, traceability, etc. “
2022: Focusing on fruits and vegetables
Whether at sea or on land, on board a boat or at the wheel of a tractor, at the central purchasing office or in front of the stall, Klarys offers a unique platform, which takes into account all the specificities of the sector. Fruit producers who have adopted this solution can now offer a consolidated, up-to-date catalog to showcase their products, all with one click. The pears from the region can be correctly valued thanks to the dashboards made available. The apple producer can validate his orders in a few seconds, directly from his orchard. The invoicing of the products becomes a child's play. The industry needs tools that understand the daily life of suppliers, producers and distributors. And this is what Klarys offers.
Michel SEREX, Verger Saint-Loup : " A few weeks after my training, I am already (rather) comfortable with this platform. It is very easy to use, intuitive and makes it easier for me to manage my apple and pear orders. A great tool made available to us. “
In the last few months of 2022, around 100 fruit and vegetable suppliers, including 80 local producers, will be digitized using Klarys. Already deployed with several wholesalers and a supermarket chain, who are determined to accelerate the digitization of their internal processes, the Klarys solution concentrates all its resources in research and development to offer ever more services and functionalities.
