This is the first in a new series of posts about #StartupsOnAzure<\/a> that will look at different companies within Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub and how they are using their credits to access a wide array of Azure services to help level up their startup.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n With the ongoing reality of erratic weather patterns, the agricultural ecosystem and its entire supply chain have become unpredictable. Groundbreaking data-driven AI\/ML can mitigate that unpredictability with greater accuracy and consistency, and decision support to the wine, food, and beverage supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While data and AI are the key to a more resilient agri-food system, legacy data systems and database silos make data widely inaccessible. This makes it nearly impossible to use AI\/ML predictive models to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Agricultural chain intelligence platform leader Trellis<\/a> needed to gather data from legacy sources, requiring a secure cloud-based architecture to feed their proprietary engines and novel SaaS tools to serve clients around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trellis, a member of Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub<\/a>, is at the cutting edge of providing much-needed predictive approaches to the agri-food supply chain. The challenge they faced, however, was building the required cloud architecture and data pipelines, which are crucial to gathering data from countless legacy platforms and silos. Accomplishing this goal requires a labor- and time-intensive deployment of a full-scale, secure, and private ML pipeline and infrastructure. But having this workflow in place could then drive their real-time predictive insights, powered by AI\/ML, on top of each customer\u2019s legacy enterprise and public data systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an agricultural supply chain intelligence platform leader, Trellis takes a novel, data-driven approach to climate security to solve challenging issues along the food\/consumer packaged goods value chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Trellis uses their proprietary AI\/ML-driven engines and SaaS tooling to bring accurate, consistent predictions to the erratic agri-food supply chain to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a digital world, building data-gathering and ingress workflows along with the ML pipelines that deliver predictive intelligence is a challenging task for any business. Azure Logic Apps<\/a> is a cloud-based platform where you can create and run automated workflows that integrate your apps, data, services, and systems. Microsoft\u2019s solution enables the secure and private access and running of operations on various data sources via managed connectors in workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOverview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
