Does anyone have experience in software for the food supply chain?

Curious to learn about the landscape of software used among wholesalers, distributors, food services, etc. especially if there's a component of connecting with small and local farms/producers. Thank you!

I've worked in procurement software for restaurants to connect with vendors - this was in Asia. At that time, for the US market, there was no major player who had cracked creating a platform to connect wholesalers/distributors with end users. It's a very fragmented space and wholesalers/distributors are protective over their pricing and discounts.

I've built a data platform to track food quality for a global food science firm's customers, which largely involved custom software development and data stores, but these were built atop supply chain data output from other systems. I've also built software to track processed food, deployed alongside conveyor belts of meat processing plants, but this software was at the opposite end of the food quality software at the point of data collection.
