From the packing line to the loading dock, we built it all.

A large industrial agriculture / greenhouse produce operation runs every day on software we designed, built, and operate — the backend, every app their staff touches, the integrations to the machines on the floor, and the servers it all runs on. One firm, end to end.

+ cases located across every carrier and door

+ recall scope resolved in seconds, not days

100% US-based engineering · Built and operated by one team

// the system runs the floor — coolers, docks, packing lines — every day

// the operating reality

Off-the-shelf software doesn't fit a real produce operation.

Fresh produce moves on its own clock. Cold-chain integrity, lot-level traceability, packing-line hardware that has to be talked to in real time, recall readiness that certifications demand — generic warehouse or ERP software wasn't built for any of it. A real operation needs software that talks to the physical machines, runs on kiosks in coolers and at loading docks, and keeps moving when the line is moving.

API endpoints 500+

A Python/Flask backend with 70+ data models across a multi-database PostgreSQL architecture.

One firm End to end

Backend, every floor app, hardware integration, and infrastructure — built and operated by one team.

Build + operate Multi-year

Not a single project. A living system we ship to continuously, and the servers we run.

US-based engineering 100%

The same onshore team across the entire stack.

// what we built

One team. The whole stack.

// 01 The entire backend

A Python/Flask REST platform — 500+ endpoints, 70+ data models, and a multi-database PostgreSQL architecture that separates logistics, labor, and administrative data. JWT auth, background job scheduling, document and QC-image object storage, PDF generation.

// 02 Every app their staff touches

Windows desktop applications and Android apps used on the warehouse floor, at loading docks, and at employee kiosks. Every screen, on every platform, built by us.

// 03 Integration with the machines on the floor

Direct integration with industrial packing-line equipment — automated bin fillers and labeling/packing machinery, including AWETA-line sorting and grading identifiers — with real-time event tracking by color, lot, harvest date, and pack date. Scales, barcode/QR scanners, and PDF-driven label printing, across a device registry managing four classes of floor hardware.

// 04 The infrastructure, operated

Self-hosted environments managed over a WireGuard VPN, with GitLab CI/CD deployment pipelines, staging and production, and real-time error alerting into Slack. We don't just ship it — we run it.

// what the system does

From harvest bin to customer delivery

// warehouse Warehouse & inventory

Pallet and bin tracking through the full lifecycle — creation, packing, cold storage, shipment — across a multi-warehouse, multi-door facility model with 13 distinct location types. QR identification on every trackable entity, scannable with standard hardware.

// logistics Shipping & logistics

Full shipment lifecycle (open → paid → ready → shipped) with temperature and cleanliness verification for cold-chain integrity. Driver kiosks at the docks for check-in, trailer assignment, and pickup/dropoff logging. Automated customer notifications with generated PDF packing slips on close.

// workforce Workforce management

Time-clock kiosks that capture photos for punch verification, with automatic logout safeguards and audit logging. Job assignment, scale-integrated productivity tracking, and compliance records — incidents, training and certification, document-expiry alerts, leave.

// food safety Food safety & traceability

Lot-number traceability through the entire chain: harvest bin → filler → pallet → shipment — full recall capability from delivery back to harvest. QC box inspections with defect documentation and photo evidence. Equipment cleaning records, waste-stream tracking, and pest-control monitoring — the audit trail agricultural certifications require.

// what you could ask

The questions a real-time operation should answer instantly

> If we recall a lot, where did every case go?
> Which trucks are checked in, and which doors are open?
> Is the cold chain verified on every shipment that closed today?
> Which packing line produced this pallet, and when?
> Where is the open QC and inspection backlog?
> Which certifications or work documents are expiring this month?

// the outcome

Recall-ready, cold-chain-proven, audit-ready — by design.

Traceability isn't a feature here, it's the business outcome. Every pallet traces back to a harvest bin and forward to a customer, so a recall is a query, not a fire drill. Cold-chain verification is captured at shipment, so the proof exists before anyone asks. The cleaning, waste, and pest-control records certifications demand are part of the system, not a binder someone fills out later.

The whole system runs on infrastructure the operation controls — self-hosted, US-based, operated by the same team that built it. The data that runs the floor stays where the floor is.

// where to start

Have an operation that off-the-shelf software doesn't fit?

We're not a body shop and we're not selling a product. We embed as a long-term engineering partner and build the system your operation actually runs on — then we keep running it with you.
