Foodia is building a sustainable B2B portal for the future of food commerce

Foodia is a global B2B portal that connects suppliers and buyers in the food industry in a responsible, transparent, and efficient way. With a mission to become a global leader in sustainable B2B food commerce, Foodia needed the right platform, team, and technology to bring this ambitious project to life.

Challenges: modernization, flexibility, and efficiency

Initially, Foodia faced several challenges inherent to the food trade sector, including complex purchasing cycles, large-scale orders, and deeply rooted traditional ordering methods. The main challenges were:

• Bridging the gap between digital experiences and traditional trading methods.
• Simplifying and streamlining the ordering process for broad and diverse product ranges.
• Integrating various payment and logistics solutions into a unified platform.
• Providing a flexible solution that can adapt to the evolving needs of the food industry.

"B2B commerce is not the same as B2C. We chose DJUST for its B2B expertise and its ability to integrate multiple B2B functions as a value-added service."

• Flexible payment solutions: Integration of various payment service providers (PSPs), logistics solutions, and exchange rate management.
• Best-in-class approach: Digitalizes food commerce by offering an all-in-one solution that integrates multiple essential services.

Key benefits for Foodia:
