Earth Day 2022

Sensefinity is proud to be part of this global effort to reduce emissions. With Sensefinity’s logistic monitoring platform, we help companies optimize their operations and traffic routes, reducing pollution.

In addition to route optimization, Sensefinity's platform also monitors the condition of food transport, preventing it from deteriorating.

In the last 5 years we’ve helped retails supermarkets save 1,601,480 tons of food by alerting for bad transport conditions! All these savings correspond of thousands of extra truck trips that would be necessary and that were avoided accounting for more than 5,420,393 tons of CO2 reduced!

This is the way to go towards halving the emissions by 2030: prevent all the unnecessary extra fuel-based trips.

On this Earth Day, we honor our commitment to not only be a climate sensitive SME, but also to make it our core mission to work to help other SMEs reduce waste and emissions and thus have a positive impact on our planet.

The time to act is now! Let's invest in our planet!

Sustainable Supply Chain Technology

Improving Food Security Using IoT

1.3 billion tons of food spoils and is wasted every single year, that's about one-third of the total amount of food that is produced. To look at it another way, 1.3 billion tons of food could feed between 2 and 3 billion people, each year.

Current figures suggest that of the 7 billion people on this planet, 925 million are starving, so even if we can't produce more food, saving just half of the wasted food could solve world hunger.

Wegweisende Konzepte gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung

Die Rabobank und ihre Direktbankenmarke RaboDirect Deutschland gehen am 26. März mit Food Furore an den Start. Im Rahmen dieses neuen Veranstaltungsformats der niederländischen Food & Agri-Bank wurden von der fünfköpfigen Jury jetzt sechs Unternehmen ausgewählt, die beim Start-up-Pitch in Berlin ihre Konzepte gegen Lebensmittelverschwendung präsentieren dürfen.

Food Furore stellt die globale Verschwendung von Ressourcen im Lebensmittel- und Agrarbereich in den Mittelpunkt und präsentiert mögliche Lösungsansätze, um die Menge an Essen zu reduzieren, die weltweit im Müll landet: Nach Angaben der Welternährungsorganisation (FAO) ist das ein Drittel aller weltweit produzierten Lebensmittel. Das entspricht etwa 1,3 Milliarden Tonnen an Lebensmitteln und einem finanziellen Schaden von rund 630 Milliarden Euro in den Industrieländern sowie 285 Milliarden Euro in Entwicklungsländern.

Meet Fazla Gıda, a startup that is making a difference

Helping Retailers increase profits while helping Non-Profits with Food Donations. The amazing story of Fazla Gıda, a Turkish startup that is making a difference.

Today we talk with Olcay Silahlı.

Olcay is the founder and CEO of Fazla Gıda, a startup that helps retailers prevent food waste. Previously he worked at Deloitte and Unilever.

Sensefinity: Hi! Can you introduce yourself?

Olcay: Sure! My name is Olcay and I am the founder and CEO of Fazla Gıda. We’re based in Istanbul, Turkey. Fazla Gıda helps retailers reduce waste and promotes the circular economy towards a more sustainable world.

Sensefinity: What’s Fazla Gıda mission?

Olcay: Our mission is to reduce food waste, help non-profits and create a circular economy around food waste management. We do it by helping retailers, producers, distributors manage their unsold inventories more efficiently according to the food recovery hierarchy. We are proud to have both an economic and social impact.

Sensefinity: Why your mission matter?

Olcay: The progress of the second half of the XXth century pushed Mankind forward but also left gaps in terms of social inequality and environmental impact. We believe that, through technology, is possible to balance the economics demands with the social ones. We can simultaneously reduce waste, avoid the loss of profits while contributing to the economy and non-profits and even have an impact on health by preventing food to spoil.

Sensefinity: How does Sensefinity’s Internet-of-Cargo fit in that mission?

Olcay: One of our challenges is the transportation of fresh food between retailers stores while ensuring that temperature is always right. A constant, real-time, monitoring is fundamental as we need to be alerted as soon as we detect an anomaly. This allows us to react and fix the problem avoiding food to spoil. Using Sensefinity’s remote temperature sensors we can monitor the temperature in real-time while the fresh products are being transported between stores. We as a wholistic waste preventive solutions provider to our clients, we are happy to delivery Sensefinity solutions to our clients as well.

Sensefinity: How was the monitoring done before?

Olcay: Sometimes there was no monitoring at all! Other times the temperature was checked manually at arrival. But that is not acceptable: we need to monitor the whole journey, all the time. It’s the only way to be 100% sure that quality and safety are not compromised.

Sensefinity: How many sensors are you using nowadays?

Olcay: Right now, we are using 154 sensors with a local retailer that transports fresh products between several stores. They have stores across Turkey, from Istanbul to Izmir.

Since the results have been amazing, the retailer already asked us to increase the coverage. Besides, we’ll roll-up more retailers in 2020 and expect to operate 20.000 sensors by the end-of-the-year!

We want to be the number 1 player for food safety and the go-to company for food transportation monitoring in Turkey.

Sensefinity: Thank you very must for your testimonial. Any final words?

Olcay: Let’s use technology to make the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainability Development a reality! Towards zero waste!
