Supermarket and Retail
Retail programmes live or die on shelf presentation and on a listing that never runs out. Both are supply chain problems before they are marketing problems.
Industry Pain Points
- Listings that go out of stock when a supplier's season ends
- Off spec pieces at the edges of a weight band that reach the consumer
- Grey skinned whole fish that looks flat in a chilled or frozen display
- Artwork and barcode changes that a small plant cannot handle
- Bone complaints traced back to fillets with pin bones left in
What These Buyers Need
- Year round supply from an integrated farming and processing operation
- IVP and IWP retail ready formats
- Custom barcode and artwork for private label
- Belly off pin bone removed fillets
- Species with retail shelf appeal such as red tilapia and red snapper
