Cream, a revolutionary online trading platform for food supply businesses founded in 2012 has been selected as a finalist in the category of Innovation in Financial, Professional & Public Services at the 2017 New Zealand Innovation Awards.
Cream's online platform has been selected due to its highly configurable e-commerce sales solution that gives food supply businesses a powerful tool for accessing suppliers, products, customers, and market information. Cream also powers Europe's biggest b2b dairy trading platform DAO, Dairy Auctions Online.
Cream connects perishable food supply chain industries in a Cloud-based e-commerce environment, with e-commerce platforms that aim to revolutionise the sales process within these industries.
Cream offers secure data access, transparency and flexibility on live sales, while gathering data to help target markets and to analyse consumer habits.
Cream CEO Kevin O'Sullivan says that the five year-old business has exceeded growth expectations and becoming a finalist in the New Zealand Innovation Awards is a humbling achievement for the team.
“We’ve made it our objective to help businesses cut through the clutter and to make their business decisions clear and simple.
“We want to ensure that using the Cream platform is a simple and enjoyable interaction with powerful technology, but, behind-the-scenes is a robust solution able to handle the complexities of dealing in globally traded food products.
“We’re looking forward to the awards night and whatever happens, will be making sure we’re doing our bit to help Kiwi businesses compete in a global marketplace,” O'Sullivan said.
The winners of the 2017 New Zealand Innovation Awards are announced on October 19th at the Viaduct Events Centre.
