Problem
Food manufacturers often face challenges in efficiently managing surplus inventory, leading to potential revenue loss and unnecessary food waste. Traditional methods of selling or donating excess stock can be time-consuming and may not reach the appropriate buyers or charitable organizations quickly enough. This results in write-offs and disposal costs, impacting profitability and sustainability efforts.
Solution
Yume Food offers a digital platform designed to streamline the management of surplus food inventory for manufacturers. The platform automates sales and donation workflows, connecting manufacturers with a network of trusted buyers and charity partners to ensure excess food reaches shelves or those in need. By digitizing manual processes, Yume enables manufacturers to increase revenue from excess inventory, reduce food waste, and minimize disposal costs. The technology provides tools to efficiently manage and distribute products such as slow-moving or obsolete (SLOB) stock, clearance items, new product development (NPD) overruns, de-ranged products, out-of-specification batches, and mislabeled goods.
