As a retailer, why work with us?

Meet sustainability goals
The Upstreaming platform enables retailers to meet their current and long-term sustainability goals in a cost-efficient way through industry-leading practices such as automation and robotics, which will ensure they stay at the forefront of innovation in the sustainability and regeneration sector.
Better quality products
The Upstreaming platform provides unique focus on quality management. We align on superior long-term standards and install a feedback loop for continuous quality enhancement. Cost savings can be invested to further improve quality, creating a flywheel for growth.
Lower costs
We leverage the long-term & exclusive partnership to unlock cost savings, both from manufacturing and procurement scale and from investing into more efficient processes. The relentless focus on operational improvement ensures continued cost savings for the retailer.
Enhanced knowledge
By bringing transparency across the value chain, we enhance merchant capabilities and knowledge of the value chain, best practices, industry indices and category-specific costs. We help merchants evolve from being negotiators to strategy collaborators with their value chain partners.
