The Challenge
Local farmers struggled to reach restaurants and health-conscious consumers directly. Existing platforms charged steep commissions, lacked route-optimized delivery, and offered no subscription model - leading to inconsistent revenue and significant food waste.
Our Solution
We built a multi-vendor marketplace with Stripe Connect powering individual vendor payouts, subscription box management with flexible schedules, and a route-optimized delivery system using Google Maps API. Vendors get their own storefronts, inventory dashboards, and sales analytics.
Results & Impact
- 200+ vendors onboarded in the first year
- 40% reduction in food waste through demand forecasting
- 85% subscription box retention rate
- Route optimization cut delivery costs by 30%
