Operations & efficiency
Scale cleanly
Margin lives in fewer wasted kilometres and fewer confused tickets — these systems reduce both.
Dynamic packaging sizes
Let shoppers pick small / medium / large portions per SKU where farms pack flexibly (e.g. 200 g vs 500 g spinach).
Cuts plate waste and often raises basket size when people can buy exactly what they cook.
Reverse logistics — cooler bags
“Return your cooler bag” button — driver collects next drop; ~R5 deposit refund per bag where deposits apply.
Aligns with our existing returnable jar language on the delivery page.
Automated substitution intelligence
When stock fails, propose substitutions from history — “You swapped kale→spinach last time — repeat?” Reduces chat load.
Real‑time harvest alerts (farmer‑side)
Lightweight mobile view (or WhatsApp bot) for growers to flag early / late readiness.
Availability and customer messaging auto‑adjust instead of manual spreadsheets.
