Built by people who know food.
Calyx builds Foodvu and Foodvu Intelligence for manufacturers, retailers, foodservice operators and suppliers. We turn supplier and product data into ingredient level impact and supplier performance insight you can act on.
Our approach
We work across the supply chain — with manufacturers, retailers, foodservice operators, their suppliers and partners — because the decisions made between them shape how food is grown, sourced and manufactured. Every customer, whether a manufacturer or a supplier, adds a pathway into the same data layer.
That shared data layer is the point. When supplier data is collected once and reused across customers and reporting cycles, everyone spends less time reformatting the same answers and more time using them.
Our platforms handle collection, verification and structuring at scale, because coverage is the hard part. The value is not in another dashboard; it is in turning thousands of supplier answers into ingredient level impact and supplier performance data you can actually use.
The team
Our specialists have immersed themselves in the food and beverage industry at every level , from local markets to global operations, so the insight we give is practical as well as rigorous.
