Case Study: Foodbank Victoria achieves streamlined food acquisition and distribution with Qlik

Food Charity Benefits From Analysis and Reporting

Foodbank Victoria is a statewide not‑for‑profit that sources and distributes food to some 500 charity partners and over 1,000 schools, delivering more than 25 million meals a year (about 70% of Victoria’s food relief). It struggled to match donated and purchased food to diverse local needs, prevent perishables from being wasted, and consolidate data from multiple sources to guide timely decisions while managing an annual A$5 million food budget.

By migrating to Qlik Cloud Analytics with implementation support from Notitia, Foodbank Victoria combined internal ERP, inventory and donation data with external demographic datasets and automated reporting. Custom dashboards and staff training improved real-time decision‑making, reducing waste, lowering food spend from about A$1.70 to A$1.48 per kilogram, and giving charity partners better, timelier insights to optimize distribution.
