Our story

Food people, fixing food's data problem.

Our founders, Roger McCracken (CEO), Paul Armstrong (CSO) and Gary Tyre (CTO), spent years running supply chains and managing suppliers inside major food businesses. They saw the same thing everywhere: product, supplier and compliance data split across spreadsheets and inboxes, and risk hiding in the gaps between them.

Since 2012, we've been closing those gaps. Today, food manufacturers, retailers and foodservice businesses use Foods Connected to manage every product on one record, from source to shelf, so they spot risk earlier and make decisions with confidence.

Beliefs

We build only what food businesses need.

We're not a general-purpose software company that added food later. Every decision starts from how food businesses actually work.

Food is different.

Shelf life, allergens, recalls and retailer standards need software designed around them, not adapted to them.

Partners, not providers.

We stay close after go-live, because a supply chain is never “done”.

Know the work.

Our team has done the job in food, so the platform is built for how your teams actually work.

What we've built

One platform for the data food businesses depend on.

We connect everything in one place rather than building separate tools. A change anywhere in the product lifecycle or supply chain shows up everywhere else, so your teams work from one record instead of reconciling several.

Approval & Compliance

Supplier approval, certificates and audits in one place

Food Safety & Quality

Checks, issues and corrective actions

NPD & Specifications

Specifications, formulation and labelling

Sustainability

ESG and animal welfare data from suppliers

Procurement & Sourcing

Sourcing decisions made with supplier and cost data in view

One connected platform.
