We are thrilled to announce the launch of the ForestFoods Online Store, a bespoke web app launched at the beginning of 2024. This innovative platform streamlines the process of bringing our premium, organic produce directly from our farm to your doorstep, once a week. Our online store integrates seamlessly with our existing data infrastructure, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience for our local home buyers.
Key Features of the ForestFoods Online Store
Customized Delivery Regions
Our web app allows us to create custom delivery regions around our operating area, overlaying them on a Google Maps view. Clients input their delivery address and drop pin location, designating their exact drop-off point. If your location falls within one of our selected regions, you'll be automatically approved to purchase from our store.
Comprehensive Client Management
Our Clients page is a centralized hub for all customer information, including contact details, delivery addresses, and pin coordinates. We can also manually toggle approval for clients near an existing delivery region, ensuring flexibility and personalized service.
Accurate Inventory Management
The Inventory page links directly to our master product list in the Google BigQuery (BQ) database, allowing our staff to upload the week’s inventory accurately. This ensures customers have access to the freshest, highest-quality produce available.
The ForestFoods Online Shop Launch
ForestFoods successfully launched its online shop to sell weekly vegetable boxes, marking the first step in integrating all sales channels through this platform. This enhances accessibility and convenience for our customers, reflecting our commitment to quality, consistency, and innovation in food production and distribution.
Visit the ForestFoods Online Store today to discover how easy and convenient it is to get farm-fresh, organic produce delivered to your door. Join us in embracing a healthier lifestyle and a more sustainable future.
