At SPRK, we build and operate a robust and global B2B exchange system to eliminate food waste in the supply chain and reduce harm to the climate. While the supply chain is currently broken, we can create a safe space for participants to express their true preferences in terms of food supply and match suppliers with demand partners. The first step to driving down food waste is to build inventory and visualize the available type and amount of surplus. We then add preferences and surplus information to the structured data and let algorithms optimize the matches. Always with one goal: facilitating the rapid distribution of surplus food of the supply chain while minimizing the CO2 footprint.
Not all apples are equal. Some varieties are sweet, some acidic. They might have small defects or are packaged in ways that some demand partners can’t handle but others can. At SPRK, we capture over 50 data points for each product so demand partners can see what’s available at a glance and can find the ideal product.
We believe there’s a match for all surplus out there – it just hasn’t been discovered yet. Help us to understand what food you need. When do you need it and what do you need it for? The preferences of a canteen differ from those of a manufacturing business, despite the fact that both may need to source apples. You can set preferences and select properties to create the perfect match. If available, we add your historical sourcing data to suggest matches and find the offers that are relevant for you.
