At the heart of our work is our STAN technology platform (Safety, Tracking, Allocation, and Navigation), which we developed to manage the logistical challenges of food recovery. Through this customized and innovative technology built on Salesforce, food safety standards are met, including cold chain handling, and a smooth and safe journey is ensured for each recovered meal from its point of preparation to the final consumer.
STAN also facilitates communication among food donors, volunteers, and recipients, while providing food donors with real-time data that shows the environmental and community impact of their contributions.
Processes onboarding and matches surplus food donations with the partner agencies based on location, need, and capacity —optimization onboarding tracking management .
Simplifies volunteer management, task assignments, and route optimization for food pick-up, delivery, and home delivery programs — ensuring timely service and operational efficiency.
Provides end-to-end visibility on containers, and inventory, enhancing accountability and minimizing loss.
Monitors food handling, and delivery conditions to ensure safety standards are met and liability risks are minimized.
Gives food donors access to dashboards for tracking contributions, generating donation receipts, and monitoring their impact.
Facilitates seamless communication between donors, recipient organizations, volunteers, and Share My Meals, strengthening coordination across the ecosystem.
Delivers powerful reporting and KPI tracking for accountability and transparency.
Built on Salesforce, STAN benefits from regular platform updates and enterprise-grade security, offering a single, reliable solution that scales as food rescue operations grow.
STAN tracks each meal container in real time, monitors how long the meals have been transported for safety compliance, and triggers alerts if food safety thresholds are compromised, guaranteeing that 100% of meals are delivered safely.
By eliminating manual workflows, STAN has freed up 40% of our operational resources, allowing us to focus on what matters most, feeding communities in need.
With the help of STAN, our meal recovery capacity has doubled in the past year, and food waste was cut by 50%.
The Salesforce-based STAN platform provides robust data protection, advanced authentication, and full auditability, giving us a strong foundation to scale.
At launch, we managed operations across nine platforms, it was too manual to scale. We partnered with Accenture to build a unified, secure Salesforce CRM tailored to our needs. Now, volunteers use one app, stakeholders access real-time data, and our team operates from a centralized system. It’s been an incredible journey, we are grateful to the Accenture team for making it possible.”
As someone who believes in the power of technology for good, I’m proud to support Share My Meals. Using Salesforce Nonprofit Cloud and Field Service Mobile, they’ve turned meal delivery into a streamlined, data-driven process that ensures families get nourishing food quickly and reliably. It’s proof that innovation and kindness go hand in hand.
Having an integrated platform like Salesforce, combined with emerging AI capabilities, is a game changer for our operations. We can now focus more on strategic decision-making and less on repetitive tasks. This means we are delivering meals more efficiently and reaching more families every single day.
