Starfish and Leading Technology Providers Unite to Deliver True Interoperability in Food Supply Chain Traceability
(PRUnderground) August 12th, 2025
The future of food traceability depends on one thing: breaking down the barriers between systems so that data can move freely across the entire supply chain.
Starfish, the leading connectivity platform for food traceability and data sharing, today announced its Global Partner Ecosystem, bringing together more than 50 of the industry’s top solution providers who are leading the charge toward a fully connected, interoperable food system.
The companies featured in the Global Partner Ecosystem are recognized leaders in their respective fields, delivering exceptional value to their customers through deep expertise in traceability, cold chain visibility, compliance, sustainability, and supply chain intelligence. By leveraging Starfish as a utility layer for data sharing, these organizations are able to:
- Focus on serving their clients with innovative, specialized solutions—without diverting resources to build and maintain custom connectors or translation services.
- Deliver interoperability at scale, helping retailers collect data from suppliers, enabling distributors to connect with all of their trading partners, and allowing suppliers to reduce manual processes with portals and unlock new business opportunities.
- Facilitate broad, industry-wide data sharing, not just adopting capabilities internally, but actively driving an ecosystem of collaboration that benefits the entire food system.
“True interoperability requires leadership and collaboration, and that’s exactly what we’re seeing from these companies,” said Wiggs Civitillo, CEO of Starfish. “They’re not wasting time rebuilding what already exists. Instead, they’re partnering with Starfish to give their customers a connected, compliant, and efficient supply chain experience today.”
Starfish is the only neutral platform in the market, purpose-built to support all technology providers equally without competing against their offerings. This makes it the connectivity backbone of the food supply chain, harmonizing data across more than 100 technology solutions, including ERP, EDI, GS1 EPCIS, traceability, WMS, TMS, and custom partner-built systems. Thousands of food companies already rely on Starfish through participating solution providers to securely share data with retailers, distributors, and suppliers at scale.
The launch of the Global Partner Ecosystem represents a turning point for food companies seeking practical solutions that work with existing systems. Starfish and its partners are proving that interoperability doesn’t mean rip-and-replace; it means using the tools you trust while unlocking the full value of traceability data.
