South African organisations are also addressing the food supply chain challenges and fair distribution.

“With the information age and as information becomes more available to everybody, this (food security challenge) will be solved,” he says. “We have the ability to predict some of the issues, but we don’t have all the data points yet. As we are able to collect more and more data points, we’re going to get better at predicting where we should move food.”

To get all the data points for this exercise, he believes, will require companies working together. “I think that’s part of the challenge. If you and I are competitors in a certain product, for both of us to open up or make our supply chain transparent, there’s a bit of a mental shift that needs to occur for companies to make their data available to everybody. If we can change the mindset of the industry so that this becomes the norm, I think then we’ve won or are close to winning.” Brainstorm Magazine

For companies like FSN, the key is in capitalising on the power of data and technology. The business is founded on the premise of providing an independent digital marketplace that simplifies the supply chain for the food services industry.

According to Steyn, FSN integrates with the ERP systems of businesses so that it can share stock levels. These, he says, are obviously structured and within certain rule sets, but the company makes it transparent so that food services can see what is happening in the supply chain. Brainstorm Magazine

"You don’t just wake up one morning and decide you’re obsessed with your customers, especially with companies like ours that are growing fast. It’s hard to keep it top of mind unless it’s one of your values. Over the last year customer obsession has served us incredibly well, as it has done for other companies in the supply chain.”

“Of course we focus on our own business, but ultimately we’d be nothing without the manufacturers who supply and the customers who buy. We need the entire chain to be operating well in order for the industry to move forward, and that’s why I fully believe what I’m about to say.” Gert Steyn, CEO Food Supply Network

"Efficiency is key and margins are tight, so any help we can get in keeping our machine well-oiled is welcome. Ultimately it makes our customers happier, which is what it all comes down to.”

Businesses that are cutting their costs and upping their efficiency are the ones that are surviving. But the businesses that are thriving are the ones that have ingrained customer obsession into their culture.”
