As Coronavirus Upends Global Food Supply Chain, US Dairies & Foodservice Companies Partner with GetSwift to Reach New Customers

GetSwift, a leading provider of SaaS logistics technology,
announced Monday it was adding three local dairy and meal kit
providers on the east coast to its powerful farm-to-table delivery
management platform.
The new partnerships with Homestead Creamery, Nounos Creamery,
and Fresh List come as American farmers have been forced to dump
millions of gallons of fresh milk amid a steep decline in demand
from schools, restaurants, and food service providers.
Because dairy is a daily crop, farmers are dumping as much as
eight percent of their milk—as much as 3.7 million gallons of milk
wasted each day—according to the national milk cooperative Dairy
Farmers of America.
"This pandemic has upended the whole global food supply chain,
but the dairy market was hit more violently than other commodities
because its product is so perishable," GetSwift CEO Bane Hunter
said. "That's why GetSwift's platform, which brings farm-to-table
through the last-mile, is such a no-brainer for dairy farmers, or
any agricultural products, and their customers. Watching a farm's
nutritious product go down the drain when so many out-of-work
Americans are struggling to feed their families is heart-breaking,
and we're proud we can leverage our platform to help out."
GetSwift, which acquired the global farm-to-table logistics
platform Delivery BIZ Pro last year, will help facilitate
relationships, transactions, and deliveries between these clients
and new customers by optimizing front-end ordering, route mapping,
and business intelligence.
Homestead Creamery provides fresh milk, butter, ice cream and
homemade lemonade to southwest Virginia. Nounos Creamery makes
authentic bag-strained Greek yoghurt in Babylon, NY. Fresh List
sells local Charlotte, North Carolina produce, dairy, meats and
meal kits with recipes from an executive chef direct to
consumers.
These are but a few of the many farms, dairies, creameries and
local food businesses across 26 states today that trust GetSwift to
help them manage from order to delivery during this pandemic.
