“The grocery food supply chain is at an inflection point. We see increasing investment in automation, regulatory pressure mandating the adoption of reusable packaging and an urgent need for improved sustainability and reduced carbon emissions. Pair all of that with low margins and the neverending focus on trimming costs and you create the perfect conditions for the SCai transformation.”

- Paul Barry, Founder
