FRESNO, CA - Starfish, a leading supply chain connectivity platform enabling secure data exchange across the food ecosystem, announced a strategic partnership with Silo, a cloud-native operating platform built specifically for produce companies — including shippers, distributors, packers, and growers.

Together, Starfish and Silo are bridging the gap between operational systems and trading partners — enabling data to move across the supply chain without manual processes, portals, or custom integrations. According to a press release, this includes the automation of both traceability data and EDI transactions, creating a more unified and efficient flow of information across trading partners.

By connecting Starfish’s interoperability network with Silo’s all-in-one platform which unifies inventory, ordering, payments, traceability, and analytics the partnership creates a digital backbone for standardized data exchange, integrated EDI workflows, coordinated operations, and accelerated traceability readiness.

“The food supply chain is still operating on fragmented systems that were never designed to communicate with one another,” said Wiggs Civitillo, CEO of Starfish. “This partnership with Silo is about changing that. Their innovative approach delivers a more automated experience that helps customers better manage and strengthen trading partner relationships. By enabling standardized data exchange across workflows including EDI and traceability — we’re helping companies modernize without disruption while improving coordination and data accuracy.”

Silo’s platform enables food supply chain businesses to manage core workflows from purchasing and inventory to payments, reconciliation, compliance and EDI within a single system. Through integration with Starfish’s neutral connectivity network, Silo customers can seamlessly share data with trading partners, automate traceability workflows,exchange EDI documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and ASNs, and meet evolving regulatory and customer requirements with greater speed and accuracy and meet evolving regulatory and customer requirements with greater speed and accuracy.

“At Silo, our mission has always been to empower the food supply chain with modern technology that drives clarity, efficiency, and growth,” said Amy Gates, CEO of Silo. “Partnering with Starfish extends that mission by enabling data to move beyond the four walls of a business — helping our customers collaborate more effectively, respond quickly to traceability requirements, and make better decisions with real-time visibility.”

This partnership reflects a shared vision for a more connected food ecosystem — where traceability and EDI data flows freely, systems work together, and businesses can operate with greater confidence, transparency, and resilience.
