We transform food systems

Flexible supply chain software with mobile app simplicity.

Tell me more please!
We have a broken food system

The current system is wasteful and inefficient

It's expensive

Smaller players are priced out, typically relying on a cumbersome mix of email, text, and phone to coordinate complex inventory movements

It's siloed

Sharing information across organizations is cumbersome and severely constrained, leading to poor planning and decision-making.

It's inaccurate

Digital systems don’t match rapidly changing physical reality, leading to out of stock and shrink.

It's brittle

Users need to bend their own processes to match the software, or pay a hefty price to build and maintain customized extensions.
Transforming our food system

We built our own inventory management and ecommerce system from scratch.

A seamless realtime linkage of physical reality with your inventory systems and your ecommerce platform, reducing waste and driving profitable growth. And it’s very affordable.

Features for tracking your own inventory

Unique Item Tracking
Starling tracks “this” case of apples rather than just “a” case of apples.
Rich data
Starling tracks the destination, and condition of each item, with text, pictures, and video.
Realtime information
Starling updates at the speed of the internet, available instantly to all authorized users.
Flexible features
Starling bends to match your processes, not the other way around.

Features for buying and selling with others

Accurate availability
The product on display is tied to real physical inventory eliminating out of stock problems.
Fast transactions
Realtime inventory visibility enables one-click ordering and facilitates higher transaction volumes.
Collaborative decision making
Sharing information with supply chain partners is as easy as Google Docs - choose Private, Read Only, or Read/Write - enabling better planning and reducing waste.

When I saw how easy it was to copy and paste the sections I was sold. Ollie has everything we needed and more to create a site for our client – we will be repeat users for sure.
