Digital quality assessment
Traditional avocado quality control has always come with a trade-off: accurate data costs you fruit. Cutting, pressing, or lab-testing samples means product loss at scale and blind spots across your supply chain.
OneThird eliminates that trade-off. Our NIR-powered scanner measures what matters internally, without touching the inside of a single avocado. Non-destructive, fast results, and large enough sample sizes to give you a reliable picture of every batch.

Non-destructive dry matter
Dry matter is the most reliable indicator of avocado maturity and eating quality. The standard method, drying samples in an oven, takes up to 48 hours and destroys every fruit you test, making frequent, large-scale measurement practically impossible.
Our scanner measures dry matter in one second using near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. All without cutting, preparation, or waiting. Measure entire batches rather than small samples, and every avocado tested can still be sold.
Our technology is supported by strong calibration models tailored to specific varieties and growing conditions, delivering highly consistent and actionable results across your entire operation.

Detect internal stem-end rot
Stem-end rot is one of the most damaging quality issues in avocados. It develops internally and stays invisible until it is too late to act. By the time it shows on the outside, the fruit has often already been packed for premium channels or reached your customer.
OneThird detects stem-end rot before it becomes visible, so you can route affected fruit away from premium channels before it causes problems. Less waste, fewer complaints, and more confident decisions at intake and pre-pack.
Your data in one overview
Manual data entries are no longer necessary. All quality results from your avocado scans give an instant view of whether a batch meets your specifications. Results are visible directly in your OneThird dashboard. Accurate, real-time data drives a more reliable supply chain and a final product that consistently meets consumer expectations, at scale.
Immediate access to this data gives quality managers the insights they need for better allocation decisions, or to build analytical reports that reveal trends across varieties, suppliers, and key quality parameters such as dry matter and stem-end rot.

Traditional methods costs avocados
Traditional QC methods cost you avocados. Our QC solution saves your fruit. On average, destructive testing costs a medium-sized avocado grower up to 3,700 kilos of avocados due to quality control each year. For large growers, that figure rises to up to 6,600 kilos annually. This is a significant and entirely avoidable yield loss.
With OneThird's non-destructive scanner, every avocado tested can still be sold. Our platform saves up to 90% of the fruit you would otherwise lose to the QC process itself.
On top of that, our technology saves you labor time. With results and insight in mere seconds instead of hours. All accurate, consistent, and objective quality grading.
