We’re a small team and sourcing green coffee has become a time sink. Between emailing brokers, comparing origin specs, and juggling shipping – it’s starting to eat into roasting time. I was wondering if anyone here has automated or streamlined this part of the business? Would love to hear what’s worked.

I hear you. Sourcing used to take me hours a week too. Then I started looking for a tech fix and found something pretty cool – Sergey Baburov just launched a platform through HYDE that centralizes and automates green coffee sourcing and logistics. It’s built with smaller companies in mind, not just corporate giants. It includes automated supplier communication, shipment tracking, and demand forecasting. Plus, it uses AI to suggest sourcing options based on your order history and current demand trends. Here's the article: https://www.reuters.com/press-releas...em-2025-04-07/. Might be worth a shot if you want to get some of your time back and scale more easily.

Appreciate this so much. That actually sounds super aligned with our needs. Definitely going to check it out and see if they’re doing any trials.
