Food supply chains run on
margins you cannot afford to lose.
Cold chain failures, inventory waste, and manual FSMA compliance cost food operators millions every year. Groflex closes the loop, detecting risk, routing decisions, executing actions, and logging every step.
The Problem
Four failure patterns.
Each one compounds the next.
Excursions logged after the loss
Temperature drift happens at 2 AM during a cross-dock. The alert fires 6 hours later. The product is already compromised. Your team files the write-off, not a prevention report.
Overstock in one DC. Stockout in another.
132 SKUs are expiring in Chicago. The same items are on backorder in Dallas. Nobody has the authority to trigger an inter-facility transfer fast enough. Both facilities lose.
FSMA traceability done in spreadsheets
FDA Rule 204 requires lot-level traceability within 24 hours. Your answer today is a team of people pulling records from three systems into an Excel sheet. That is not a defensible audit trail.
Demand signals never reach the ERP
Promotions, seasonality, and supplier lead time changes all generate signals. Your ERP gets the order wrong because nothing integrates them. Stockouts and forced markdowns follow every peak.
The Solution
From cold chain signal to governed ERP action.
Five governed steps.
Continuous cold chain & inventory monitoring
Groflex reads temperature sensors, ERP stock levels, and expiry dates in real time. It scores SKU-level risk the moment a threshold is crossed, not at the end of a batch job.
- IoT integration: Zebra, Sensitech, data loggers
- Live expiry risk scoring per SKU
- Demand-supply mismatch detection across DCs
AI reasons against your policy, not a generic model
The platform reasons against your actual cost thresholds, contractual commitments, and HACCP rules. It generates ranked remediation options, transfer, markdown, emergency reorder, before routing anything.
- Policy engine configured to your cost thresholds
- Ranked options: transfer vs. markdown vs. reorder
- Confidence score and risk exposure per recommendation
Role-based routing, nothing bypasses authority
VP Supply approves inter-facility transfers. Quality Manager approves cold chain responses. CFO approves markdowns above threshold. The authority matrix is configured once and enforced permanently.
- HACCP deviation approval workflow
- FSMA Rule 204 traceability auto-logging
- Role-based authority matrix, no bypass possible
Governed handoff to ops. Full documentation.
The approved decision is documented with exact instructions, approver name, timestamp, and financial case, and routed to your ops team immediately. No Slack thread. No verbal agreement. No mystery about what was decided. ERP write-back in active development.
- Decision documented and routed to ops team on approval
- SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business One, Oracle integration (in development)
- Transfer order creation in Manhattan, Blue Yonder WMS (in development)
- EDI supplier reorder triggers (in development)
One-click traceability for FDA, retailers, and auditors
Every signal, decision, approval, and execution is logged with timestamp, lot number, approver ID, and action detail. FSMA 204 traceability packages are generated automatically.
- Designed for FDA FSMA Rule 204 lot trace requirements
- HACCP CCP deviation log auto-generation
- Exportable audit packages: retailers, regulators, internal

One record, followed end to end.
A single counterparty concentration breach, from the moment it crosses your ceiling to the line an auditor reads back to you.
Single-counterparty concentration crossed the 70% policy ceiling on the SIN – FRA lane. Routed for approval under the standing delegation.
- Option AHold and reroute via AntwerpCost−€39,400
Holds the container and reroutes through Antwerp. Cheapest of the three, and it does not bring concentration back under the ceiling.
Residual concentration74.1%does not clear the ceiling - Option BAdvisory · recommendedSplit across two carriersCost−€11,900
Splits the volume across two carriers. Clears the ceiling at the lowest cost, and stays inside this manager's cost delegation.
Residual concentration68.2%clears the ceiling, inside cost delegation - Option CEscalate to air freightCost−€96,400
Fastest to arrive and the largest reduction in concentration. Exceeds the cost delegation, so it needs a second signature before it can move.
Residual concentration61.0%clears the ceiling, exceeds cost delegation, requires a second signature
