Bringing Food Manufacturing into the Digital Age with Mezze

In today's episode, we welcome Simon Bos, the visionary behind Mezze and Gravity Well. Simon, who has a deep understanding of both tech and food industries, discusses the pressing issue of technological inefficiencies in food manufacturing. He narrates the story of how Mezze was conceptualised during a collaboration with one of the UK's largest food manufacturers, which initially relied on a call centre in India for order management. By introducing a custom software solution, Mezze transformed the process, allowing customers to place and track orders online efficiently.Simon explains the function of an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system and why many existing systems fall short for food manufacturing needs. Mezze, as an Amazon-like B2B ordering platform, addresses these gaps by providing tailored solutions that reduce administrative burdens and enhance operational efficiency. Additionally, the episode highlights the pivotal role of AI in sustainability efforts, significantly cutting down food waste by optimising order decisions based on various factors.A significant part of the discussion revolves around the benefits of early tech integration, particularly for scaling businesses. Simon backs his argument with practical examples, demonstrating how tech investments can streamline operations and reduce future headaches. The conversation also touches on government support through Innovate UK, and Simon's aspirations to expand Mezze's reach to the US market, ensuring small manufacturers can stand toe-to-toe with industry giants.Throughout the episode, we emphasise the importance of technological evolution in the food sector and how platforms like Mezze can be game-changers. We also encourage listeners to rate and review the podcast and join our community on Facebook.Timestamps: [0:00] Introduction to the episode and guest, Simon Bos.[03:15] The technological lag in the food manufacturing industry.[07:45] Origin story of Mezze from the collaboration with Adelie Foods.[13:20] Explanation of ERP systems and their shortcomings in food manufacturing.[16:45] How Mezze addresses specific needs in the food industry.[19:30] AI's role in optimising orders and reducing waste.[23:50] Impact of government support and Innovate UK's involvement.[27:15] Benefits of early tech investment for scaling businesses.[31:05] Mezze's branding flexibility and integration capacity.[34:20] Sustainable practices and carbon counting enhancements.[38:10] Opportunities and challenges for small food brands.[42:00] Plans for US market expansion and further scale-up programs.[47:30] Engagement with other technology startups and entrepreneurial ventures.[51:10] Closing thoughts and contact information for Simon Bos.Links and Resources:Website Link: https://ohforfoodssake.co.uk/FB Link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ohforfoodsakeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/oh-for-food-s-sake/You can follow us here on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oh_forfoodssake/For industry consulting from Lucy, connect with her on Instagram or LinkedIn.Find her on Instagram or LinkedIn for further support with industry coaching and facilitation from Amy.See you next time!
