En Solución continues to expand its reach by bringing its fully automated ozone nanobubble system to new Ag sectors to help lower the cost of food safety while increasing quality control. We are partnering with Riveridge Produce in Michigan to conduct pilot testing of our technology in their cider processing facility. Our technology has already helped Riveridge reduce water usage while maintaining their high sanitization and product quality standards. En Solución will also continue our work with the Sunterra Meats facility in Trochu, Alberta, Canada, where we are testing the use of ozone nanobubble solution to maintain product shelf life and reduce SunTerra’s need for chemical sanitizers in their pork processing facility. We continue to work with them to find new application points for extending shelf life through environmentally sustainable and safe sanitizing solutions. En Solución continues to seek additional installation locations with industry-leading partners across North America—let us know if you are interested in receiving more information on success stories by sending a note to info@ensolucion.com! The GeekWire Awards recognize the top innovators and companies in Pacific Northwest technology, and Ganaz was honored to be one of the recipients. Launched six years ago, workforce software platform Ganaz has grown to serve more than 250,000 agricultural workers in the U.S. and Mexico and 100 employers in the sector. “We founded Ganaz to make life better for farm workers, and we do that by building technology that agricultural employers love and can’t live without,” said co-founder and CEO Hannah Freeman. “We build our tools to help both workers and employers prosper, and that kicks off a virtuous cycle that helps agricultural communities prosper as well.” The Seattle company’s software offers employee on-boarding, training, communication and analytics tools. The business is targeting farm workers, growers and food processors. One of its newer offerings is a Mastercard Payroll Card that allows un-banked workers to access digital banking. Employers save time and money by scrapping paper checks, Freeman said, and workers can save up to 10% of their salaries by avoiding high check cashing and remittance fees. The company, which is a public benefit corporation, has raised $10.4 million from investors and has 23 employees. iTradeNetwork, the leading provider of supply chain software solutions for the food and beverage industry, launched its Head Start program to fast track compliance ahead of the new Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) 204 Traceability rule. These regulations require firms to establish and maintain records containing Key Data Elements (KDEs) associated with different Critical Tracking Events (CTEs). While the proposed requirements would only apply to those foods on the Food Traceability List (FTL), they were designed to be suitable for all FDA-regulated food products. iTradeNetwork streamlines this process by working directly with suppliers to compile, validate, and transmit the required traceability data so that buyers receive critical data elements before items reach the shelves.
