Muddy Boots Software has signed a major contract with international consumer products giant Unilever, a deal which will see the tracebaility solutions provider deliver its Quickfire mobile audit management software across the whole of Unilever’s dried and frozen fruit and vegetable supply base.
This is one of Muddy Boots’ most significant global deals, and will initially involve 400 supplier implementations to be spread over a three-year period. It is great news for Muddy Boots as this contract sets to accelerate the growth they have witnessed over the last few years.

By working in partnership with Muddy Boots, Unilever will enhance its supply chain management systems, building on itsreputation as a leading organisation on sustainability.
Jonathan Evans, managing director of Muddy Boots, said: “Unilever’s decision to form a relationship with Muddy Boots illustrates its confidence in our capacity to add value to its business and to support its quest for sustainable development. We value our relationship with Unilever and believe strongly in the firm’s commitment to its sustainability programme, ‘growing for the future’; we look forward to working closely with the company and its suppliers in developing those values.”
Jan Kees Vis, sustainable agriculture director of Unilever, said: “The scope and scale of our endeavour - sourcing all raw materials from sustainable sources - means we must make sustainability improvements among all our suppliers and the millions of farmers involved with our business. It is crucial to have good information on performance, trends, and gaps. And Muddy Boots is essential to us achieving that.”
