Petrichor

Petrichor is a Chicago-headquartered software company that provides a cloud platform for managing agricultural and ingredient supply chains from origination through processing and final delivery. Its SupplySense platform consolidates shipment tracking, documentation, contract and purchase-order management, inventory and production data, and counterparty collaboration into a single interface intended to replace spreadsheets, email and text-message workflows.

The platform's functional areas cover sourcing and origination (including regulatory compliance and sustainable-sourcing requirements and premium ingredient attributes), production tracking and material-balance projection, shipment coordination and freight planning across road, rail, barge, air and ocean modes, and risk management that links physical positions, contracts and inventory to real-time market exposure and financial systems of record. Additional capabilities include production forecasting, configurable notifications by email, text and in-app, customizable reports and dashboards, permission-based data sharing with end-to-end encryption, and lot-level traceability back to origin.

Petrichor positions itself as a connective layer for food systems, arguing that agriculture still runs largely on paper and spreadsheets, and emphasizes implementation timelines measured in weeks with a dedicated implementation team and supplier onboarding in days.
