In A Nutshell
Procurant is a cloud-based software platform for retail procurement and order management in fresh foods. A product that provides a platform to buyers and sellers to connect, communicate and expand business growth through a single platform. The platform uses IoT, Blockchain and Mobility to support traceability and safety across the fresh food supply chain. We helped Procurant work towards building an experience - a unique solution that would relieve the burden on supply chain management.
Defining The Problem
In the food procurement industry, the products have a shorter shelf-life, thus delivering the right products in the strict timelines becomes critical. Procurant offers a unique solution, bridging the gap between buyers and sellers.
The users of this platform apart from buyers and sellers also include suppliers, transporting companies and related profiles, warehouses. This multi-player user base translates into diverse needs. Each player in the ecosystem has a different nomenclature and taxonomy of the products. Providing design solutions for a singular platform that would address the needs of all the players in the supply chain was a challenge.
