SWIFT PLATE
OUR
APPROACH
Swift Plate Food Rescue addresses logistics, connects communities, and simplifies tech to rescue food.
We Tackle...
Social & Cultural Barriers
Perceptions that near-expiry or "ugly" surplus food is unsafe or undesirable lead to massive waste,
Donors/consumers remain unaware of food rescue programs as a viable solution
Vulnerable populations (e.g., rural communities) may lack access to distribution networks
Retail Surplus & Logistics Challenge
Donations often come in quantities too small to fill traditional delivery trucks,
The majority of rescued food has a short shelf life,
Daily donations vary widely in type, quantity, and timing,
Conventional truck-and-warehouse logistics do not work
Technical Gaps
Lack of real-time updates leads to missed rescue opportunities,
Gaps in connecting donors with nearby recipients; Poor donor-recipient matching due to manual follow-ups,
Manual processes to coordinate volunteer pickups creates delays and slows down rescue efforts.
