Consulting Offer

Strategy, Governance & Implementation

We combine strategic foresight with industry-specific compliance and technical process implementation.

Level 1: Agribusiness Data & Value-Chain Architecture

“The Brain” – Strategic Alignment for Executive Boards, Commodity Buyers & Plant Directors

In agribusiness and food processing, weather volatility, perishability, and harvest peaks determine annual performance. We focus on your highest-ROI levers.

  • Supply Chain & Harvest Campaign Audit: Analysis of critical bottlenecks during harvest and intake peaks across collection centers, silos, cold stores, and processing plants.
  • Enterprise Data Strategy (ERP, LIMS, IoT & Geo Data): Connecting SAP S/4HANA / Abacus, Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS), weighbridge/intake systems, and meteorological data feeds.
  • Quantified Business Case: Measurable reduction in storage and spoilage losses, energy savings in drying/cooling, and faster turnaround in quality assurance.

Level 2: Food Law, Swissness & Data Governance

“The Shield” – GFSI/IFS, Swissness, Swiss FADP & Producer Trust

Agricultural cooperatives and food processors bear immense responsibility for food safety and fair stewardship of producer data.

  • IFS / BRCGS / FSSC 22000 & Traceability: Audit-ready documentation of all AI-assisted quality and batch-release processes within your food safety management system.
  • Swissness, Label & Tariff-Quota Compliance: Automated verification of origin balances (Suisse Garantie, Bio Suisse, IP-Suisse, AOP/IGP) and import tariff quotas.
  • Protection of Producer & Cooperative Member Data (FADP): Clear governance guarantees that individual farm data remains protected and is used strictly for agreed cooperative purposes.

Level 3: Industrial Integration & Multi-Site Rollout

“The Muscle” – Resilient Systems for Silos, Labs, Plants, and Trading Desks

We deploy high-availability solutions that run just as reliably at the intake pit during harvest peaks as they do at the central commodity trading desk.

  • Deep SAP, ERP & LIMS Integration: Seamless embedding into SAP S/4HANA (Agribusiness / Mill / Food), Abacus Enterprise, laboratory systems, and plant control systems (MES/SCADA).
  • Edge AI for Cameras, Near-Infrared (NIR) & Sensors: Real-time processing of optical and spectroscopic quality streams directly on intake lines without cloud latency.
  • Enablement for QA, Procurement & Field Advisory: Practical training programs for agronomists, collection center managers, QA teams, and supply chain planners.

AI Solution Horizons

From Quick Wins to Transformation

Structured implementation steps tailored to your industry value chain.

Short-Term

Phase 1: Automation in Procurement, Quality Assurance & Agri-Trade

Rapid efficiency gains across producer settlements, laboratory/quality certificates, and technical field advisory services.

  • Automated Processing of Lab, Residue & Delivery Certificates: AI automatically extracts residue analyses, mycotoxin reports, moisture/protein certificates, and organic/label audits from thousands of producers and reconciles them with SAP QM.
  • Knowledge & Advisory Copilot for Field Agronomists: Technical advisory assistant for seed, crop protection, animal nutrition, and agricultural machinery grounded in your complete product spec sheets and FOAG (BLW) approvals.
  • Automated Grower Contract & Quota Administration: Digital verification and consolidation of cultivation contracts, delivery quotas, and producer settlement statements.

Medium-Term

Phase 2: Predictive Commodity Steering & Optical Quality Control

Synchronizing harvest progressions, collection center capacities, processing lines, and retail demand.

  • Regional Harvest Window & Yield Volume Models: Combining satellite remote sensing (NDVI), agrometeorology, and historical intake records to steer intake time slots, drying facilities, and cold storage.
  • Computer Vision at Crop Intake & Grading: Real-time optical classification of tuber, fruit, and grain qualities for fair, objective quality-based settlement and optimal batch allocation.
  • S&OP Integration Between Commodity Buying and Retail: Early alignment of expected domestic harvests with promotional and import planning for major retail chains.

Long-Term

Phase 3: Connected Agro-Food Platforms & Autonomous Sustainability Steering

Building end-to-end data ecosystems from seed to supermarket shelf.

  • Automated Batch-Level Scope 3 & Carbon Accounting: Scalable capture and modeling of greenhouse gas emissions, soil carbon, and biodiversity indicators across thousands of supplying farms.
  • Dynamic Recipe & Raw Material Optimization in Mills and Plants: AI-driven blending and process control under fluctuating raw commodity qualities (e.g., falling number, wet gluten, dry matter) to maintain consistent finished-product specs.
  • Connected Smart-Farming Ecosystems for Member Farms: Delivering cooperative-wide forecasting and decision services via agricultural portals (e.g., Barto integrations) to strengthen grower loyalty.

AGRIBUSINESS & FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN FACTS

Why Leading Swiss Agribusiness and Food Enterprises Invest in AI

Research data and official statistics highlight the immense leverage of data-driven agri-food value chains.

CHF 12.0B2024

Output Value of Swiss Primary Agriculture

According to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO / BFS), Swiss primary agriculture generates roughly CHF 12 billion in output value – downstream collection, storage, and food processing multiply this volume across a highly time-sensitive supply chain.

15–30%2024

Reduction in Post-Harvest & Storage Losses

Studies by ETH Zurich and Agroscope on data-driven agri-food supply chains demonstrate that accurate harvest forecasting, optical grading, and optimized storage control cut post-harvest losses and write-offs by up to 30%.

>70%2025

Share of Scope 3 in Food Sector Carbon Footprints

In food processing and retail, over 70% of emissions originate in upstream agricultural production (Scope 3) – automated AI data pipelines make verification and reduction reporting economically scalable for the first time.

Consulting FAQ

Answers for Decision-Makers

01

How do you integrate harvest and quality forecasts into our existing SAP or Abacus Enterprise landscape?

  • We combine meteorological feeds, satellite vegetation indices, and historical intake records from your collection centers inside your cloud data platform, feeding calculated daily and weekly forecasts via standardized APIs directly into your SAP S/4HANA (PP/MM/QM) or Abacus planning modules.
02

How do you safeguard individual farmers' data sovereignty on cooperative platforms?

  • We design privacy-preserving architectures compliant with the Swiss FADP featuring clear consent and aggregation tiers: while individual growers receive parcel-level recommendations, overarching volume and logistics planning operates on anonymized or regionally aggregated data.
03

Can computer vision at goods intake reflect official Swiss grading standards (e.g., Swissgranum, Swisspatat, Fructus)?

  • Yes. Our computer vision models are specifically trained on official Swiss intake and grading standards so that quality assessments are documented transparently, objectively, and reproducibly.
04

How does AI support Scope 3, CSRD, and Swissness verification requirements toward major retailers?

  • Our document and data pipelines automatically capture certificates, origin proofs, and farm production records during supplier onboarding and at the batch level, cross-check plausibility, and generate audit-ready sustainability and origin reports at the push of a button.
