Consumers want to know
where their food
comes from.

Origin, producer, growing conditions, harvest date… Customers want to know, and European regulation is going to require it. OKTICS connects every product to its real story, from the field to the shelf, in a verifiable and frictionless way.

Sector challenges

What producers
always tell us

The food sector faces very specific challenges: perishable products, long supply chains, demanding consumers and ever-growing regulation. Sound familiar?

Origin gets lost along the chain

The product leaves the field with its whole story behind it, but as soon as it passes through the logistics operator, the packer or the distributor, that information disappears. The end consumer gets a label with four lines on it. The product's story, and the producer's added value, is lost along the way.

Without traceability, a food alert becomes a crisis

When a food safety issue arises, finding out which batches are affected and where they have been distributed can take days. Every hour counts: the product keeps reaching consumers, reputation suffers and penalties pile up. Digital traceability turns that crisis into a controlled procedure.

Quality products don't stand out on the shelf

You produce a signature extra virgin olive oil, milk from pasture-raised cows or certified organic fruit. But on the supermarket shelf, your product competes visually with private labels that cost half as much. Consumers can't verify the difference. OKTICS gives your product a voice of its own.

Increasingly complex labelling and mandatory information

Food information to consumers regulation (EU 1169/2011 and its updates) requires more data in less space. Dynamic QR codes let you meet every mandatory requirement without overloading the physical label, and update information without reprinting a single package.

How OKTICS solves it

From field to consumer,
without losing the thread

OKOTags QR/NFC + OKOCloud. A code on the package or label, and the product's whole story available to whoever needs it, the moment they need it.

Traceability from the source

Link every batch to its producer, plot, harvest date and growing conditions. The chain of custody is recorded at every step: cooperative, packer, carrier, point of sale. Auditable at any time by any authorised party.

OKO Identity

The product's story on the package

Consumers scan the QR code and see the origin, the producer, the production process, full nutritional values and certifications. A direct communication channel between producer and consumer, with no intermediaries, that strengthens the brand and justifies the price.

OKO Experience

Cold chain and logistics control

Record temperature, humidity and transit times for every batch. If the cold chain breaks or there is a critical delay, the system detects it. In the event of a food alert, locating and withdrawing affected batches takes minutes.

OKO Logistics

What your consumers care about

Every scan reveals data: what information your customers look for, at what time of year and through which channel. OKO Analytics turns those interactions into real intelligence to fine-tune your message, identify the most valued certifications and make product decisions based on real behaviour.

OKO Analytics
In practice

How it works for
your type of product

Three concrete examples of how food producers and brands use OKTICS today.

Scenario 01

Fresh local produce

1
The farmer registers the batch in OKOCloud: plot, variety, harvest date and growing practices, from a phone in the field.
2
At the point of sale, the product's QR code takes the consumer to the full story: who grew it, where, when and how.
3
If there is an alert, the producer locates every distribution point for the batch in seconds and triggers the withdrawal with no phone calls or spreadsheets.
Scenario 02

Premium quality brand (PDO, PGI, organic)

1
Every bottle, can or package carries a unique QR code linked to the specific production batch, not a generic brand page.
2
Consumers verify PDO/PGI/organic certifications in real time, straight from the certifying bodies, without relying on the text on the package.
3
The brand receives data on who scans, where and what they look at, making it possible to tailor communication by channel and customer type.
Scenario 03

Cooperative or brand with a producer network

1
Each producer in the network enters their data in OKOCloud. The cooperative centralises and validates the information before publishing it in the DPP.
2
The final product carries a QR code showing what percentage comes from each producer, with their individual story and certifications.
3
The cooperative gets analytics for the whole network: which products drive the most interaction and what information end consumers value most, data for the entire chain.
