Accelerating growth in serving global clients, including the West and China

ProfilePrint Pte. Ltd., a Singapore-based technology company effecting significant changes in the agrifood industry, has announced the successful conclusion of its Series B funding round.

The round was led by Tai Partners and participated by four of its existing shareholders, showcasing a strong vote of confidence in ProfilePrint’s AI-driven ingredient quality platform, underpinned by its patented digital food Identity-as-aService (IDaaS) technology. 

This infusion of capital marks a significant milestone for ProfilePrint, catapulting the company into a position of enhanced capability and influence. The funds raised will propel the continued expansion of ProfilePrint’s mission to revolutionise the onerous processes within the agrifood sector through the transformative power of artificial intelligence. Presently deployed in nearly 50 locations across six continents globally, ProfilePrint’s platform is already making waves.

One example in the space of coffee space is ProfilePrint’s rapid growth in East Africa. Cotacof, a leading Tanzanian coffee exporter, has benefited from ProfilePrint’s solutions since early 2022. They experience significant efficiency gains with ProfilePrint – by acquiring digital fingerprints of green coffee bean samples in less than two minutes and generating AI-powered assessment reports within seconds. This streamlined process empowers the team to swiftly identify specialty-grade coffee for export, especially during the Tanzania Coffee Board’s weekly auctions. 

“Much appreciation to our management for introducing this technology and supporting us to achieve ProfilePrint’s Al-driven profiling. Its patented food fingerprinting technology provides users an accessible, affordable, and portable methodology to predict outc omes at the point of use, within seconds. I am happy to be part of the project, it has been an amazing experience for me.” shares Kudrath Majid, the Quality Assurance Supervisor of COTACOF. 

Looking Ahead: Innovation Unveiled

Beyond coffee, ProfilePrint has rapidly moved into other verticals, such as cocoa, tea, juices, and edible oils, and will be launching its latest flagship feature, Verify, a groundbreaking addition to its platform designed to serve different verticals. 

This innovative tool enables clients to seamlessly send digitalised sample reports through the ProfilePrint Platform. This feature facilitates instant viewing and approval of sample quality, eliminating the cumbersome process of sending physical pre-shipment samples for evaluation. This enhances efficiency, and results in significant time and cost savings for all parties involved. 

“We are deeply impressed by what the ProfilePrint team has accomplished in such a short period of time,” expressed Zhang Haitao, the founding partner of Tai Partners. “As the world’s leading AI-driven ingredient quality platform, ProfilePrint is playing a crucial role in transforming the entire agrifood industry through the use of AI technology. We are proud to be partnering with ProfilePrint to support its continued growth both in the West and China.” 

Global Expansion and Networking 

This latest investment solidifies ProfilePrint’s market leadership, positioning the company for further market penetration in existing regions. Evolving from a local standalone ingredient profiler, ProfilePrint is set to metamorphose into a globally networked ingredient quality platform.

The upcoming Partners module will enable companies to connect seamlessly on the ProfilePrint Platform, forming online partnerships that transcend geographical boundaries. ProfilePrint believes that this network-enabled collaboration will elevate the sourcing and transacting processes to unprecedented levels. Alan Lai, Founder and CEO of ProfilePrint, remarked,
