Adaviv helps growers, packers and shippers improve plant health, harvest quality and labor performance using simple mobile tools that work on the phones you already carry—no capex or new hardware required. After scaling with partners like Driscoll’s and NatureSweet in Mexico, Adaviv is expanding deployments in the U.S. Teams use Adaviv to catch and treat issues earlier, standardize quality from field to pack and reduce rejections and chargebacks. We’re offering free onboarding, training and 15-day pilots in Q1 2026 for growers, PCAs, shippers, packers and processors. Reach out to learn more or try it with no risk.
