Food and Beverage
AI Agents Built for Food and Beverage Operations
AI agents for food and beverage companies covering demand forecasting, recall traceability, cold chain monitoring and compliance documentation inside your existing ERP and plant systems.
Challenges We Solve
Where Food and Beverage Operations Break Down
The inefficiencies holding teams back, and how AI agents fix them.
Demand Planning
Inaccurate Demand Forecasting
Static planning models fail to account for perishability and fall out of date between cycles, producing stockouts or spoilage-driven waste. AI demand forecasting corrects this by processing live order and shelf-life data continuously.
Food Safety
Slow Recall Traceability
A manual lot trace during a recall can take days, while affected product keeps moving through the supply chain. An AI agent maintains lot and batch data continuously so affected product is identified in minutes.
Compliance
Manual HACCP and FSMA Documentation
Compiling monitoring records, corrective actions, and verification logs for an audit or inspection is still a manual, time-consuming exercise. An AI agent assembles audit-ready documentation automatically from your existing systems.
Cold Chain
Undetected Temperature Excursions
A temperature excursion in transit or storage often goes unnoticed until product has already been compromised. An AI agent monitors cold chain data continuously and flags an excursion the moment it happens.
Shelf Life
Expiration and Waste Management Gaps
Product nearing expiration is often discovered only once it has to be written off. An AI agent tracks shelf life across every location and flags aging inventory while there's still time to move it.
Reporting
Fragmented Plant and Distribution Reporting
Operations data is fragmented across ERP, warehouse, and cold chain systems. An AI reporting agent connects every data source and delivers a unified operations summary on any cadence.

Case Studies
AI agents we have already built and deployed
Real deployments. Real outcomes. Each agent was built from scratch around the client's exact workflow.
Frozen Foods / CPGHow a $150M Frozen Foods Distributor Eliminated Overnight Temperature Risk and Prevented $200K–$250K in Annual Losses
A leading frozen foods distributor managed millions of dollars of temperature-sensitive inventory across its refrigerated fleet but had no visibility into trailer temperatures during overnight hours. This created a significant risk of product spoilage, inventory loss, and customer service disruptions.

CPG / Consumer Packaged GoodsHow a $50M CPG Brand Replaced a $180K TPM System and Unlocked $300K in Annual Value Using Open-Source TPM and Agentic AI
A $50 million consumer packaged goods (CPG) brand was struggling with the growing complexity of trade promotion management. Despite investing heavily in a traditional TPM platform, many critical processes remained manual, including trade planning, accrual management, deduction reconciliation, customer profitability reporting, and trade spend analysis.
The company was spending approximately $180,000 annually on TPM software while dedicating significant internal resources to managing promotions, deductions, and reporting activities.

Frozen Foods / CPGHow a $250M+ Frozen Food Manufacturer Cut Daily Inventory Reporting from 120 Minutes to 5 Minutes and Saved $44,000 Annually
A $250M+ frozen food manufacturer managed inventory across multiple third-party warehouses and cold storage facilities. Accurate inventory visibility was critical for supply planning, production scheduling, customer service, and inventory management.
However, the company relied on a highly manual inventory reporting process that required data from twelve separate sources, including warehouse portals and accounting system reports, to be downloaded, reconciled, and consolidated twice each day.

CPG / Business Process OutsourcingHow a $800M CPG Company Replaced OCR and Manual Data Entry with Agentic AI, Generating $592,000 in Annual Savings and a 4.6x ROI
A leading business services provider supported multiple consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies with aggregate annual sales exceeding $800 million. The organization was responsible for transcribing retailer deduction documentation, validating deductions against trade promotion planners, proof-of-performance documents, and promotional contracts across multiple customers, channels, and retailer platforms.
As client volumes increased, the process of extracting, validating, and transferring retailer data into spreadsheets, reports, and operational dashboards became increasingly dependent on manual labor.
