Foodbanks help provide a crucial service to many people around the world, and are always looking for new ways to improve their system. It is important to notify those using the services when new products become available, but also keep their location and other specific needs in mind.

Administration- Step 1
The first step is for the foodbank’s administrator to create an online form. This form is where any interested client can sign up to receive updates on product availability.
Clients- Step 2
This is where the client will either scan a QR code or text a mobile number to access the online form. They can then specify which locations they are interested in receiving updates for, and their preferred method of contact.
Administration- Step 3
The administrator simply has to send out the corresponding messages to those who signed up for the location’s updates.
Clients- Step 4
The client will receive the message for the locations that they selected, via their preferred method of contact. They are now updated on product availability.
