Service concept

FUTR za JUTR - a service solution that combines an app and an intelligent food locker to decrease food waste by improving food donations. The app works as a communication tool between stakeholders. At the same time, food lockers improve the accessibility of pickup points for users and lessen the work burden for volunteers.
