Project context
Food Savers serves households wanting to track available ingredients and plan meals around them.
The challenge
An inventory is useful when it is easy to maintain and can inform the next meal. The project connects product capture, expiry tracking and recipes based on available ingredients.
Project objectives
- Capture products by scanning.
- Track expiry dates.
- Build recipes and meal plans around the inventory.
Solution and implementation
UP2DATE built native iOS and Android apps with barcode scanning, product inventory and expiry notifications.
AI functionality suggests recipes using available ingredients. Meal planning connects the inventory to decisions about using products.
Delivered outcome
Users can review available products, track expiry and receive meal ideas using those ingredients. Inventory and planning share one journey.
What to take away
For a consumer assistant, reduce data-entry effort and connect recommendations to the user’s actual context.
