ATI is pleased to announce Big Wheelbarrow as the newest addition to its Food and Agtech portfolio.
Big Wheelbarrow’s enterprise software makes it easier for food retailers to buy locally produced food at a lower cost. The software captures and aggregates availability data, automates order placement and management, and discovers new potential suppliers and logistic partners.
Connecting wholesale food buyers with local farmers
Big Wheelbarrow is dedicated to connecting wholesale food buyers with local farmers, making it faster and easier for buyers to work with small independent growers. A major challenge that has prevented millions of small farms across the world from entering local supply chains is the extensive amount of time and labor it requires for businesses that buy food to source from them.
In order to overcome this obstacle, Big Wheelbarrow’s software provides a more proactive marketplace for farmers and food buyers to interact, giving the latter access to local products previously too inefficient to be viable. Through Big Wheelbarrow’s platform, organizational food buyers are able to access more local farms, view their certifications and their inventory, and conveniently place orders. In doing so, this reduces the amount of time and labor required to work with local farms, further powering the farm-to-table movement and supporting local businesses.
About Big Wheelbarrow
Big Wheelbarrow was founded by a farmer and a foodie with a mission to help small farms get into supply chains. Collectively, the founding team has experience at tech giants, food businesses and startups, and together they built a software platform that has made procuring local food easier than ever before.
