Planted scales sustainable vegan meat production with efficient processes

Planted, a Swiss startup, produces vegan meat alternatives based on peas and prioritizes sustainability in all aspects of production. Having grown from a test facility at ETH Zurich to supplying over 3,000 retail locations in Switzerland, Germany, and Austria, Planted required scalable, secure IT infrastructure to support rapid expansion, transparency, and process optimization. Using Microsoft Dynamics 365 for end-to-end value chain management and Azure Cloud for data storage, integration, and analytics, Planted digitized core operations. The technical solution creates transparency, reduces waste, and enables informed, sustainable decisions across production, logistics, and sales. Backed by support from the Microsoft Startup Program and aligned sustainability goals with Microsoft, Planted continues to drive efficient processes and plans further growth into new markets like France. The data-driven approach supports efficient production, enhances data security, and maintains a competitive edge as the company builds toward international expansion.
