Tracktile the AI Operating System for Food and Beverage Manufacturers

Tracktile empowers F&B manufacturing teams to digitize production runs, trace materials in real time, and complete audits or recalls with a single click. Customers report measurable improvements, including 98% inventory precision, traceability audits reduced from days to under 1 hour, 80% faster onboarding for new staff, and up to a 45% reduction in waste due to real-time decision-making.

The seed funding round was led by BDC Seed Venture Fund and Island Capital Partners, with participation from Graphite Ventures. This capital injection will enable Tracktile to enhance its AI capabilities, expand its sales team, deepen its footprint across North American food and beverage manufacturers and grow into other complex manufacturing segments.

"Manufacturers need tools that don't just collect data, but guarantee a return on investment," said Jordan Rose, CEO and co-founder of Tracktile. "This funding allows us to embed deeper intelligence that converts real-time visibility into actionable cost savings, moving the conversation from ‘what may be happening’ to verified, measurable outcomes and slashing manual data entry across the plant."

"We're building an AI operating system that thinks alongside plant managers, not just for them," said Jarred Kenny, CTO and co-founder of Tracktile. "Our architecture learns from each production run, anticipates bottlenecks before they happen, and surfaces insights that would take hours of manual analysis. This funding lets us push the boundaries of what's possible when you combine manufacturing domain expertise with cutting-edge AI."

"Having spent years in food manufacturing, I've seen firsthand how much time gets lost to spreadsheets and manual tracking," said Jordan Rose. "It’s not about digitizing old workflows, we're reimagining them entirely. Our AI understands the unique challenges of food production, from batch traceability to yield optimization, and translates complex data into decisions that directly impact the bottom line."

“ BDC’s Seed Venture Fund partners with founders building AI solutions that deliver tangible value for Canadian SMEs and beyond. Tracktile exemplifies this by digitizing F&B manufacturing operations through its AI-powered Operating System, helping customers boost productivity, enhance competitiveness, and reduce costs. ” – Daniel Nieto, Principal, BDC Seed Venture Fund

“ Tracktile is exactly the kind of innovation we back at Island Capital Partners. The founders truly understand customer pain points and deliver solutions with immediate, measurable value. Jordan and Jarred have experienced the realities of food manufacturing firsthand, and they are not just digitizing workflows; they are redefining how SMB manufacturers access enterprise-level operational intelligence. The strong engagement from their Early Adopter Program confirms what we saw early: this team has built something manufacturers actually want to use. We are thrilled to support their growth.” – Katie Arsenault, Partner, Island Capital Partners

“ At Graphite, we look for founders who intimately understand a customer’s pain point and deliver software that becomes indispensable in their daily operations. Tracktile fits that profile perfectly. The team's deep domain expertise, the mission-critical nature of their platform, and the consistently strong feedback from operators are exactly what we look for in companies. With strong capital efficiency and accelerating momentum, they’re demonstrating the ability to scale with discipline while building a durable business. ” – Craig Leonard, General Partner, Graphite Ventures
