Problem
The food industry faces significant challenges in managing surplus food, leading to substantial waste and disposal costs for producers, manufacturers, distributors, and HORECA (Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes). Inefficient supply chain management and a lack of real-time visibility into food surpluses contribute to these losses. This results in both economic and environmental consequences, including increased carbon emissions and wasted resources.

Gambooza offers a digital supply chain management platform that connects food manufacturers with restaurants to efficiently commercialize surplus food production, reducing waste and disposal costs. The platform uses AI-powered visual recognition to quantify food waste in real-time, enabling data-driven improvements and systematic use of food surpluses. By digitizing the food supply chain, Gambooza facilitates a more streamlined and needs-oriented approach to managing excess food, minimizing environmental impact and maximizing resource utilization. The platform helps suppliers reduce disposal costs, partners lower acquisition costs, and all stakeholders reduce their carbon footprint.
