ThroughPut Inc. and Inteligistics Partner to Optimize Perishable Goods Supply Chain
ThroughPut Inc., a pioneer in industrial AI supply chain Decision Intelligence, and Inteligistics, a leading provider of digital visibility solutions for perishable supply chains, have announced a strategic technology alliance. This partnership aims to accelerate profitability for the sales of perishable goods, addressing common challenges such as volatile prices, poor predictions, limited supply chain visibility, and excessive product spoilage.
Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency and Visibility
Mutual customers facilitated the collaboration between ThroughPut.AI and Inteligistics, who recognized the complementary strengths of the two companies. ThroughPut.AI’s patented Supply Chain Analytics & Decision Intelligence software is highly regarded for its comprehensive capabilities, while Inteligistics excels in supply chain performance, productivity, and sustainability. Together, they aim to provide an integrated solution that significantly improves the efficiency of supply and cold chain operations.
“We’re delighted to partner with Inteligistics as we look to expand our capabilities for our clients in the critical Food and Agricultural industry,” said Seth Page, COO and Head of Strategic Partnerships of ThroughPut Inc. “Food and AG supply chains suffer from siloed legacy point solutions that don’t address today’s supply chain networks’ complexity and volatility. To overcome these modern Food and AG supply chain challenges, already existing but disparate data must be tapped into, stitched together, analyzed, visualized, and optimized with Industrial-grade AI for actionable recommendations and better results.”
Leveraging AI for Improved Decision-Making
ThroughPut.AI, in collaboration with Inteligistics, will enable growers, suppliers, carriers, distributors, and retailers to improve their operations significantly. This includes ensuring that all fresh products—from berries and vegetables to fish and meat—are sold profitably, on time, and in full. The partnership’s enhanced visibility will allow for faster, fresher, and safer delivery with comprehensive supply chain transparency.
Rao Mandava, CEO and Chairman at Inteligistics, highlighted the partnership’s benefits: “Our partnership with ThroughPut.AI will empower agricultural producers and buyers to leverage data for timely, intelligent decision-making while accelerating margins. Our customers will now have a unified common operating picture for a single source of truth for all their perishable inventory, enabling them to reduce risk, increase safety, and unlock new growth opportunities.”
Joint Capabilities and Benefits
The alliance brings together ThroughPut’s AI-powered Supply Chain Advanced Analytics and Decision Intelligence solutions with Inteligistics’ innovative supply and cold chain performance improvement capabilities. This combined offering will drive additional value in key areas:
- Fill Rate: The joint solution will dynamically allocate products, forecast customer demand, and balance supply with demand in real-time. This helps prioritize higher-margin product mixes with optimal on-time and in-full (OTIF) rates.
- Scheduling: Suppliers and buyers can optimize loading facility and cross-docking operations through data-driven recommendations, ensuring efficient use of labor, docks, and slots for higher throughput and profitability.
- Rejection and Discount Rates: Leveraging data from both companies, the solution provides actionable insights to maintain product quality and food safety, minimize rejection factors, and manage inventory effectively. This reduces waste and discounts, ensuring traceable and quantifiable shipments.
