Soufflet Malt, the world’s number one maltster, is rolling out MALTimize, an innovative data platform solution to accelerate AI-driven transformation across its production and business operations.
MALTimize is designed to provide teams with a single source of truth for all data on one platform, enabling faster, more accurate decision-making. Building on this data platform, AI will unlock new capabilities for the company. From predicting outcomes to optimising decisions and integrating intelligence across operations and business functions, MALTimize will deliver real, scalable impact. Developed by Soufflet Malt’s IT team and InVivo Group’s IT and Digital Factory, MALTimize is a key pillar of the company’s MALTiply 2030 strategy, which aims to outperform through digital and operational excellence.
MALTimize in malt production
MALTimize ensures product quality and optimises yield by transforming production inputs into precise and actionable recommendations, enabling maltsters to define and apply optimal production parameters with confidence. The platform is built on a shared global data ecosystem that promotes the exchange of best practices across malthouses. Looking ahead, an AI-powered chatbot planned for the second half of 2026 will further enhance usability, allowing maltsters to ask questions and instantly access tailored reports and data charts.
MALTimize for business functions
Soufflet Malt is integrating MALTimize into all business functions. For example, MALTimize will empower supply chain and sales leaders with advanced business intelligence and analytics that turn data into action. By consolidating information from multiple sources and regions into a single global view, MALTimize strengthens critical processes including sales forecasting, inventory management and operations planning to support financial objectives.
“With MALTimize, Soufflet Malt is transforming how we run our business”, said Jorge Solis, CEO.
“We can now empower our teams with clean, real-time data to boost efficiencies across the organisation which reinforces Soufflet Malt’s position at the forefront of digital innovation. As deployment expands across all operations and functions, MALTimize marks a major leap forward in becoming a data-driven and digitally enabled company. It is a key part of our MALTiply 2030 strategy to leverage digital technologies for enhanced performance, and we see strong potential in what AI can deliver for our business.”
