"We developed our own quality tools and software to handle all that information and ultimately bring forward some predictive capabilities." As Apeel Co-Founder Jenny Du shared on the Behind the Fruit podcast, we originally engineered this proprietary tech stack—integrating hardware, software, and machine learning—out of necessity to test and measure how our plant-based coatings were performing. By bringing those internal capabilities directly to the global market, we are giving our partners tools to modernize the supply chain from the ground up. Instead of treating logistics as a series of disconnected handoffs where critical product data is lost the moment a shipment changes hands, this technology connects the dots. Shippers and suppliers can leverage precise, predictive insights—factoring in everything from country of origin to harvest dates—to know exactly when an avocado or citrus shipment will reach peak ripeness. With this level of visibility, our partners can optimize logistics resulting in a highly efficient, data-driven supply chain that ensures fresh food retains its peak seasonality, flavor, and value by the time it reaches the shelf. Listen to Jenny’s full conversation with Lucy Robinson to hear more about our journey from a California garage to scaling a global business, and how we are building the future of post-harvest technology: https://lnkd.in/gR9K9pmq
