A successor to QC4U
QC4U served HDG well for years, but a legacy system eventually hits the ceiling of new requirements. Together with HDG we are building a new platform that matches how the company works today and leaves room to grow. We are not replacing the system one to one; we are redesigning it around the processes that genuinely matter now.
AI at the core, not as an add-on
The difference is where the AI lives. Instead of fitting an existing system with an AI button afterwards, we build the platform from the inside out with AI as part of how it works. That makes it possible not just to digitise quality processes, but to genuinely automate them, with a human in the loop wherever judgement counts.
Building side by side on the floor
We do not build from a distance. As an operating partner we stand beside HDG in the operation, from the floor to working software in production. We work in phases with a go or no-go at every step, so that what we build keeps matching practice. The first version is due in a few months.

About Agri Software
With QC4U and Survey4U, Agri Software delivers SaaS software for carrying out quality inspections and damage assessments within the fresh-produce sector. With QC4U, Agri Software's inspection application, quality inspections are digitised and inspection data can be processed and analysed quickly. The biggest advantage of using QC4U is that communication around quality is optimised. When quality deviates, stakeholders can be notified directly and, if desired, automatically.
QC4U is always configured in consultation with the client. The client decides which findings matter most to them and which questions are mandatory. Based on the input from the ERP system, QC4U makes it possible to specify per inspection whether it should be carried out at pallet level, per grower, per variety, per container and so on. This lets clients choose flexibly between a fast and an intensive inspection at the press of a button. By using QC4U, clients can standardise their inspection process worldwide.
“We are building a platform that fits exactly how HDG works today and that scales with the future.”
