AI that knows dairy.
The same bag of powder needs two papers for Munich and six for Jeddah. Specs run to fat, protein and heat class, and the orders come months ahead. We bring what we learned on a meat desk to the people who trade dairy.
One pallet, four sets of papers.
Milk becomes cheese, butter and powders that keep for months and travel the world. The product is the same; the paper is not. Every destination asks for its own certificates, its own lab results and its own registration, and a single missing one keeps the container on the quay.

In dairy, the paper travels further than the product. It has to be right before it leaves.
