Freshness Index​ and Shelf Life

Target Persona:

Quality & Supply Chain Leaders Value Prop: A biological “fitness tracker” for produce that predicts remaining shelf-life to maximize margin.

What We Offer?

Fresh IDX transforms freshness management into a predictive science. Imagine a biological “fitness tracker” that predicts remaining produce shelf-life to maximize margin. Working with both suppliers and receivers, we predict Remaining Shelf-Life (RSL) at every step of the supply chain by integrating IoT data with validated USDA biological degradation models.

We Provide

• • Predictive RSL Scoring: Real-time calculation of shelf-life from harvest to retail shelf.

  • ANQC Patent Algorithm: A code that converts complex sensor data into a quality status.

  • Commodity Model Library: Context-aware calculations for berries, salads, and more.

  • Universal Standard Support. The UBQ System of Record links your operations data with GS1 2D barcodes, EPCIS 2.0 and FSMA-204 compliance for case-level traceability.

  • Actionable Alerts & Playbooks: Notifications linked for logistics routing, inventory management and in store execution.

Business Case Outcomes:

• • • Non-Linear Margin Recovery: Extending store shelf-life by 2 days recovers ~4% of margin.

    • Strategic Inventory Management: Combining FIFO and FEFO (First-Expired, First-Out) strategies.

    • Supply Chain Optimization: Rerouting distressed inventory to closer destinations.

    • Verified Financial ROI: Demonstrated ROI ranging from 7.1x to 8.4x.

    • Standardized Quality Governance: A data-driven System of Record for all stakeholders.

Soft Benefits:

• • • Industry Leadership: Integration with GS1 and FSMA standards for data interoperability.

    • Future-Proof Intelligence: Roadmap toward Agentic Autonomy for “self-healing” logistics.
