We are happy to introduce you to Food Vertex, our newly launched resource map for food companies. This brings in a whole new system that can help food companies identify vendors for supplying the ingredients, machinery and equipment, talking to a testing lab, and also partner with an academic/research institution to tweak some formulations. The Food Vertex has been developed in a way that, the users can reach out to the people with the convenience of just a few mouse clicks. This is a geo-tagged directory of all vendors you need to connect to while developing your product. Being geo-tagged, it is very convenient for food companies to identify the nearest required service provider, which makes it easy to connect to them. The different categories that are currently involved in the directory include:
This section contains information about all the academic and research institutions location wise. You can reach out to these institutes if you would like help with product development as well as do a trial production as most of them have a pilot plant on premises.
Users can access detailed information about Government Institutions and Industrial Trade Bodies which includes their role in the industry to their contact details in this section.
This is the toughest part for a food startup when they want to find a third party/outsourced manufacturing for their product, when they try to scale. Now you can search for product details and contact details of third party manufacturers from various locations across India in this section.
