What is Crisp ?
Crisp is an AI-driven supply chain visibility company helping food manufacturers use real-time demand data to forecast accurate production volumes. They launched a daily report on consumer food buying trends during COVID 19 that looked at food buying behavior in Europe and modeled it for North American manufacturers so they could forecast food buying behavior here and better manage inventory. This was extremely useful when the US was about 2-3 weeks behind Europe in COVID impact. The Crisp platform is used to connect food manufacturers to distribution channels to provide real-time data access that can optimize supply and demand.
