01 / Operations for the real world

Prototype / 2026

Manure. Straw. Gypsum. And data in between.

A prototype operations layer for mushroom substrate producers. Orders, raw materials, production and logistics in one understandable flow.

02 / The flow

One decision starts the whole chain.

A customer order becomes raw-material demand, a production plan and a specific batch to deliver. This project investigates how to make that flow legible.

  1. 01Order
  2. 02Demand
  3. 03Materials
  4. 04Production plan
  5. 05Batch
  6. 06Quality
  7. 07Logistics

03 / Raw materials

Physical inputs. Digital consequences.

Seemingly “boring” physical industries produce complicated information flows. Quantity, timing, quality and availability of every input affect the decisions that follow.

01 / Structural material

Straw

Availability, quality and delivery cadence need to meet the production plan.

02 / Nitrogen source

Chicken manure

A process input whose parameters and supply influence batch preparation.

03 / Process additive

Gypsum

Another recipe component requiring the right quantity at the right time.

04 / Assisted workflow

Software prepares. A person decides.

The workflow under study aims to shorten the path from demand signal to a purchase-ready decision — without pretending purchases are autonomous.

Read orders

Calculate demand

Detect shortage

Prepare purchase draft

Human approval

The decision stays human

05 / Why

Machine automation does not always mean a connected information flow.

The hypothesis: a technological process may be highly automated while planning, orders, procurement, communication, logistics and data still live in disconnected places.

We do not assume this is true for every producer. The project examines where information gaps actually occur, how much team attention they consume, and which connections would create practical value.

Understand the process first. Build software second.

06 / Status

Research before roadmap.

This is an early research project and prototype — not production SaaS. The current phase is about learning real processes and the industry's language.

Discovery in progress

We want to speak with people working directly in the process: substrate producers, operations managers, procurement teams, growers and industry experts.

  • Production planning
  • Raw-material procurement
  • Order intake
  • Logistics and quality
  • Information exchange

07 / Contact

Do you know this process from the inside? Let's talk.

No sales deck. We want to listen, map reality and test assumptions.
