Quality or compliance lead at a food importer or consumer brand

Food importers and brands must keep every SKU within pesticide maximum residue levels across many suppliers and regions, but residue findings and shifting MRL rules are scattered across regulators, NGO lab tests, and recall alerts, so a banned-substance finding becomes a recall or news story before the team catches it.

Trigger: Foodwatch lab testing found EU-banned pesticide residues in rice, tea, and spices on sale to consumers.
Budget: Annual SaaS subscription per importer or brand, tiered by number of suppliers and SKUs monitored.

Budget owner who feels the operational cost of the broken workflow.

Residue and MRL data is fragmented across countries and formats, so coverage and freshness are hard to guarantee.

Trigger: AI-assisted product work and managed infrastructure reduce the first-version cost.
Budget: $49-$499/month

Hands-on operator willing to pilot a narrow tool before a full rollout.

Quality or compliance lead at a food importer or consumer brand who still run the workflow in spreadsheets, generic docs, email, or chat threads.

Budget: Custom
