Case Study: Swedish Association of City Missions achieves better food inventory control and less waste with Merkle

Swedish Association of City Missions rescues 3,500 tons of food with Merkle

The Swedish Association of City Missions, an NGO combating food poverty, faced a challenge in efficiently managing a drastic increase in food bank demand. They needed a tool to track inventory in real-time, ensure compliance, and minimize human error. Merkle collaborated with them to develop a custom digital registration solution.

Merkle implemented an easy-to-use digital system featuring scanning devices and a customized inventory balance tool. This allowed for streamlined operations and meticulous accounting of all food items. The solution enabled the City Missions to rescue 3,500 tons of food, increase the amount handled by 67%, and double memberships in their social supermarkets, significantly expanding their impact.
