Wholesale food platform Platter is connecting buyers and sellers by consolidating all food ordering, sales and purchasing tools within one digital platform.
The company claims this is tackling food sourcing inefficiencies for the 75% of businesses that still manage their food orders offline and reduces the processing time of orders received by an average of 30 minutes and achieve sales uplift of up to 26%.
The platform does this by aggregating all third-party partners for the ordering, transportation, financing and sustainability (waste reduction) of food. This enables food buyers and suppliers to manage their connections in one place, reducing human error, saving time, and increasing margins.

Platter is led by UK wholesale food industry veteran and entrepreneur Jack Clegg, who saw the opportunity to address food waste via tech after working at the top levels of food purchasing.
As part of its sustainability goals, Platter enables users to connect with food charities in order to donate surplus stocks and the company claims it is the only platform of its kind that caters to both manufacturers and buyers, and which also integrates finance, food donation and surplus stock tools.
