Lovis Roots came to us with a unique challenge: build an e-commerce platform that connects spice farmers directly with consumers and retail partners, with full traceability from farm to table.
The Challenge
- Multiple farmer-vendors managing their own inventory - Subscription orders for B2B retail partners - QR-code traceability on every product - Story-driven content (farmer profiles, harvest stories) - Multi-currency for international buyers
Our Solution
We built a Next.js 14 platform with a custom vendor dashboard, Stripe Connect for split payments, and a headless CMS for content. The traceability system generates unique batch QR codes linking to farm details, harvest dates, and certifications.
Results
- 40+ farmer vendors onboarded in Month 1 - 25% of revenue from subscriptions - 95+ Lighthouse score - Featured in 3 food-tech publications
