## About

Founded in 2018 by Justus Lauten, and based in Cologne, Germany, Justus Lauten GmbH, trading under the name Foodforecast, fka werksta.tt is an artificial intelligence platform that provides a SaaS (Software as a Service) sales forecast solution for the food industry in order to reduce food wastage. In February 2026, Foodforecast Technologies GmbH raised EUR 8 million in series A funding co-led by SHIFT Invest and ECBF, with participation from Future Food Fund and Aeronaut Invest GmbH.

The company provides software that uses internal and external operational data, as well as machine learning and deep learning models, to predict a company's sales outcome and help them manage their inventory, accordingly, reducing waste. Furthermore, the company provides mobile apps through which businesses can set individual frame parameters and predict sales in various scenarios, as well as enable food ordering via apps.

The company will use the February 2026 funding to expand its AI demand and production forecasting platform into new markets and support enterprise-scale deployments that reduce waste in ultra-fresh food supply chains.
