Twiga Foods: Transforming Africa’s Food Retail Market with Advanced Technologies

The complexity of food supply chains can at times be a hurdle to achieving food security, especially in regions with high demand and perishable goods. Enter Twiga Foods, a trailblazing Kenyan firm that has made significant strides in augmenting the banana supply chain in the country. Leveraging advanced technologies, the company aims to minimize waste, maximize product availability, and empower stakeholders along the entire supply chain.

Twiga Foods and Their Mission to Transform Africa’s Food Retail Market

Victor Mshindi, Site Reliability Engineering Manager at Twiga Foods, highlights the company’s mission: “Our goal is to revolutionize Africa’s food retail market, making food security an achievable reality by using advanced digital tools to transform the grow-to-grocery cycle.” The focus on food security is paramount in Africa and has far-reaching implications worldwide. In response, Twiga Foods seeks to address these issues by integrating advanced technologies into their operations.

Partnership with Powerhouses Google Cloud and Incentro

As the company experienced rapid growth, it was imperative to find streamlined methods of managing and maintaining operations. Twiga Foods found the solution in a partnership with Google Cloud and Incentro, a certified Google Cloud provider that began supporting the Kenyan firm back in 2021 for billing and compliance management purposes. Over time, Twiga Foods has relied upon Incentro for engineering support and guidance on critical decisions such as provisioning and deployment. Presently, Incentro offers Twiga Foods valuable insights on Google Cloud adoption and optimization.

Scalability Takes Center Stage with Google Kubernetes Engine

A pivotal part of Twiga Foods’ success in optimizing the banana supply chain lies in its decision to adopt Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). This powerful tool supports a microservices architecture that simplifies scalability, enabling the company to adapt swiftly and seamlessly to fluctuations in demand.

Furthermore, Incentro plays a crucial role in ensuring that Twiga Foods manages its capacity effectively and controls costs, as both factors are critical aspects of their mission. With a Google Cloud certified partner assisting every step of the way, Twiga Foods creates a robust infrastructure to support its burgeoning food supply ecosystem.

Ambitious Expansion Plans on the Horizon

Twiga Foods has set its sights on expanding its operations beyond Kenya, introducing its innovative solutions to other African countries. To achieve this, they recognize the necessity of automating more processes and streamlining the overall business model.

The success of Twiga Foods will be heavily influenced by its ongoing partnership with Google Cloud and Incentro. By continuing to tap into the unparalleled expertise provided by these powerhouses, the company expects to make substantial progress in revolutionizing the food retail sector across the continent.

In conclusion, the future looks bright for Twiga Foods as it continues its mission to optimize the food supply chain with cutting-edge technologies. The company’s partnership with industry giants such as Google Cloud and Incentro will undoubtedly propel this ambitious venture forward, reshaping how businesses across Africa address food security, and bringing accessible and innovative solutions to the forefront of food distribution.

Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.

Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).

This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.

I honestly can’t wait to work in many more projects together!
