Consentio and Klarys join forces to build a shared collaboration platform for fresh produce
The combination of Consentio and Klarys creates a leading European player in fresh produce procurement, facilitating several billion euros in transactions every year and accelerating the digitalisation of relationships between retailers, food manufacturers, wholesalers and suppliers.
Consentio and Klarys are joining forces to build a shared platform for commercial and operational collaboration across fresh produce supply chains.
The group today works with retailers, wholesalers, food manufacturers and growers in France, Spain and Switzerland — including Carrefour, Intermarché, Manor, Bell Food Group, Monoprix and Biocoop — and connects more than 4,000 suppliers worldwide.
With volatile demand, increasingly complex supply chains and rising expectations on responsiveness, fresh produce players need better shared information to run their operations.
By combining Consentio’s expertise in fruit and vegetables with Klarys’s expertise in seafood, meat and dairy, the group offers a platform that helps suppliers, growers, food manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers coordinate more effectively.
The platform brings forecasts, orders, commercial offers and operational information together in one place, cutting administrative work, improving data quality and smoothing interactions between trading partners.
The combination will accelerate the development of new forecasting features, giving clearer visibility over future orders, simplifying customer order management and improving the distribution of commercial offers.
Built to integrate with the tools already in place, the platform is designed to make collaboration across the value chain easier, without forcing a break with existing systems.
The group’s ambition is to help build a more connected, more responsive and more efficient fresh produce supply chain, for the benefit of the entire ecosystem.
