Seamless tech integration

Product catalogues, store locations and management tools connect seamlessly to our platform. Operations continue exactly as before while community partnerships scale across every location.

Automated scheduling

Our intelligent system matches your locations with trusted local charities and builds weekly collection schedules that run without intervention. Each store gets consistent, reliable pickups while you focus on core business priorities.

Backup charity system

Every location is scheduled with multiple primary and backup collectors on standby. When collectors can't make it, our system instantly activates backup charities.

Expand your giving portfolio with non-food redistribution

Your surplus extends far beyond food. DIY supplies become resources for community workshops. End-of-line furniture transforms into essential household items for families in need. Through our charity network we can match every type of physical product with organisations that can put them to immediate use.

Regular collection schedules

We establish consistent collection schedules with charities arriving on specified dates, creating dependable cycles that match your business processes.

One-off donations

We can activate our network on demand - no ongoing schedules or commitments required. Your surplus reaches charities when it makes sense for your operations and their needs.

Donate food to community individuals with Surplus Saviors®

Our Surplus Saviours scheme turns surplus into direct family support. Local residents sign up for donations via our website, while store teams use staff-friendly tools for immediate distribution. Direct community impact, complementing existing charity partnerships with personal, household giving.

Fill gaps in schedules

When your partner charities can't collect, or you can only donate at store closing time, our community network steps in. Registered Surplus Saviours receive instant notifications and handle collections that would otherwise go to waste.

Deliver support directly to those in need

Surplus Saviours provide direct assistance by collecting donations and delivering them straight to households facing urgent food insecurity.

Perfect for ad-hoc responses

When unexpected events create large surplus volumes with tight deadlines, our Surplus Saviours network mobilises instantly.

Donate late at night

Store closing times can often be too late for charity availability, leaving late-night surplus stranded. Surplus Saviours collect during evening hours when traditional charities can't commit.

Market leading impact reporting

Basic donation tracking tells you what you gave—our reports reveal what you achieved. Extract comprehensive environmental and social metrics across all locations in formats ready for board presentations. Carbon reduction, community benefits, and operational efficiencies that prove surplus strategy delivers measurable business value.
