Who We Work With

Ecogear for growers and packers.

Two roles. One preservation system.

For Growers

Protect your harvest before shipping.

Post-harvest loss can start at the dock, not the farm. When rejected crates return, you have already absorbed the cost. Ecogear extends shelf life before produce ships.

  • Cut dock rejections at regional packing houses
  • Use accurate shelf-life forecasts in pricing talks
  • Cut on-farm write-offs for produce below shipping grade
  • Send freshness certificates to downstream buyers

Pilot growers reported fewer regional packing house rejections, based on early-access feedback from the 2024 season.

What can 6 extra shelf days do for margins?

Fewer dock rejections

A rejected crate costs both the produce and its haulage. Fewer rejections mean fewer returns and grading disputes with buyers.

Better negotiating position

A shelf-life forecast gives buyers evidence instead of a verbal guarantee. Longer shelf life can secure higher contract prices.

Fewer on-farm write-offs

Produce outside the shipping window is often composted or heavily discounted. Treatment at packing extends the viable window before that choice.

For Packers

Stop sending back crates buyers already expected.

Packing house sorting decisions drive buyer complaints and dock rejections. Ecogear's AI routing system reduces guesswork in those decisions.

Cut sorting errors

Human triage misses many high-risk crates. AI routing flags batches needing treatment before shipping, not after a buyer complaint.

Fewer buyer complaints

More remaining shelf life on treated crates means fewer short-code complaints. Retailers get freshness data instead of relying on dockside inspection.

Improve line efficiency

A ranked queue directs coating where it matters most, rather than across every batch. Use less coating and allocate floor time better.

Build a feedback loop

Shelf-life data builds through the season. Over time, the AI model improves grading accuracy and your facility's triage baseline.

Works with equipment you already use.

No proprietary hardware is needed. Ecogear connects to existing sorting-line sensor feeds through a web dashboard on any facility-network device.
