The story of the Buzug platform

The idea of creating a short food supply chain platform was born in 2017, with the aim of supporting the growth of a family business. The first implementation was a module built on top of the ERPNext management software.

The module was deployed, but using the ERP proved too complex and time-consuming. With that in mind, a new project was launched in 2021 to build a simpler platform focused on producers' needs for direct sales:

  • Ease of use
  • Flexibility
  • Mobile-friendly
  • Connections between producers

The platform was designed and built in Brittany — and "buzug" actually means "earthworm" in Breton!
