Frank Fleming’s firm offers food safety and sustainability is software

Verifact, a Cork-based software business, is aiming to expand its operations in the US over the next year. The company currently has projects in Ireland, Britain and Spain, as well as a small operation in the US.

“A typical client is a retailer or a brand buying from multiple suppliers. We go into those suppliers and identify data points and gather data in near real time. We use that live information to identify if there’s a problem with a product,” Fleming said. The origin of Verifact goes back to Fleming’s own experience observing the supply chain from his prior role as a commercial fisherman.

“We did one in 2015 on wild-capture seafood, seeking ways to improve safety and sustainability. Then we did a further one in aquaculture in 2019 and we completed another relatively recently focused on the pork industry,” Fleming said.
