Fruit and Vegetable Distribution: Maximise Freshness and Profit with RouteMagic
Seamless operations for the fresh produce industry through intelligent temperature control, demand forecasting, optimized logistics and full traceability.
In the Fruits and Vegetables sector, spoilage is a significant challenge due to the perishable nature of these products. Factors such as improper temperature control, high humidity, and transport delays can lead to rapid deterioration. Addressing this issue requires effective cold storage management, quick and efficient transport logistics, proper handling techniques, and innovative packaging solutions to extend shelf life and reduce decay.

Demand Forecasting
Inaccurate prediction of product demand poses a major challenge, often leading to either excess supply that increases spoilage or insufficient stock that misses sales opportunities. This issue stems from difficulty in forecasting consumer preferences and market trends, which can fluctuate based on seasonal changes, economic factors, and evolving dietary habits.
Harness data analytics to refine demand forecasts, reducing overstock and shortages by aligning with market trends and consumer preferences
