Featured case study

Tomato 🇳🇱 Netherlands

The situation:

Supply chain planning in fresh produce has historically relied on experience, intuition, and manual processes. While valuable, these become harder to scale as organisations grow and market demands become more complex and time-sensitive. For both the grower and the cooperative, the lack of structured forecasting at the grower level meant less predictability in harvest logistics, buyer commitments, and overall supply chain coordination.

The choice:

Kwekerij van der Vleuten is taking the lead alongside a select group of additional ZON growers to deploy hexafarms' forecasting technology. The system is designed to complement existing grower knowledge, turning crop data and growing patterns into reliable, forward-looking production insights. The ambition extends beyond one farm: creating a consistent data foundation at the grower level that supports smarter decisions at every layer of the cooperative.

The outcome:

The impact spans better operational planning, more reliable buyer commitments, and a structured forecasting foundation that ZON can scale across its grower network. As Ricky Gommans from ZON describes it: "hexafarms allows us to proactively sell our growers' produce ensuring a better price over the entire season and more revenue for our growers."

““Instead of all those movable cameras or snapshots, this system takes continuous photos of the same location. That idea made sense to me straight away””

How it happened

By replacing manual estimation with fixed-camera monitoring and a data-driven forecasting engine, Gardener's Pride closed the gap between projected and actual yields in the one-to-three week window that matters most commercially. That accuracy cascaded into better workforce scheduling, logistics, and buyer confidence. Now, Gardener's Pride and hexafarms are setting up automated crop registration and pest & disease detection to close the loop between plant development and forecasts. Tracking crop growth and disease pressurte numerically and in real time to spot deviations earlier and make climate and management decisions with more lead time. As Marco describes it: "The crop registration supports the cultivation plan, and ultimately your forecasts. It means you can assess your crop numerically."

“We calculated what a single week of undetected powdery mildew costs us per hectare. The conversation about price ended there.”
