85% of shoppers are likely to switch grocers to find more local, healthy food

We can help you secure their business.

The demand for fresh, safe, locally-sourced food has never been greater, but the procurement process can be difficult to manage and almost impossible to scale. That’s why we built Forager.

Sourcing local food shouldn't be so hard

Are these obstacles preventing you from being a leader in local?

Manual, fragmented processes

  • 1-to-1 communication between multiple suppliers via phone, e-mail, and fax
  • Paper invoices and orders 
  • Tracking product lists on spreadsheets
  • Error-prone data entry

No Marketplace

  • 30% of retailers surveyed didn’t know how to find local suppliers
  • Researching and vetting new suppliers is time intensive 

Lack of Data and Analytics

  • Only 9% of retailers surveyed had data about their local food program
  • Difficult to track whether you are honoring vendor commitments
  • Inefficient buying and category management

“We increased our local purchasing by at least 10%. We see things we didn’t realize our farmers had. We find new products as well as replacements.”
