BUSINESS OPERATIONS
PLATFORM TO SUCCESS
Looking to bridge the gap between traditional work methods and cutting-edge tech, Platter’s online ordering tools are effectively simple. ALL-IN-ONE On a mission to revolutionise the wholesale food sector with innovative, technology-driven solutions, Platter is already making its mark in pizza. The aim is to help manufacturers run businesses more smoothly, saving time and reducing stress – incorporating small changes that have a big impact. “We know that improving efficiency isn’t just about technology; it’s about making life easier for the people behind the business,” said Platter CEO and founder, Jack Clegg. “That’s why we are constantly developing Platter with real feedback from manufacturers, ensuring it fits into their world rather than disrupting it. “Our focus is to grow alongside our customers, adding new tools to simplify ordering, invoicing and stock management. As we continue to expand, the goal is simple: make everyday operations faster, easier and less frustrating.” Platter is as an all-in-one wholesale food platform, founded by Clegg and CTO Andrew Johnson. “Businesses are built over time, shaped by experience and routines that work,” continued Clegg. “Life is busy, and change
– especially in tech – can feel daunting. If something isn’t broken, why fix it. “But Platter looks to bridge the gap between traditional ways of working and the benefits of automation – supporting people, not replacing them, and making daily tasks easier to free up time for what really matters. “It can integrate smoothly into existing operations, reducing admin without disruption. Small tweaks, like streamlining orders or automating invoicing, can make a major difference without feeling like a major shift.” IN SYNC The Italian food sector is of significant interest to Platter. Not least because it has the highest of customer expectation levels. “People are looking for an experience, with food of an incredible quality that is matched by the story of the journey and relationships built with partners. “What we ultimately do is free up time and reduce inefficiency, so companies can focus on that quality retention. This can take the shape of various everyday wins.” For manufacturers producing the likes of fresh pasta, sauces, cheeses, cured meats and specialty Italian ingredients, Platter provides: ● Faster order processing – replacing outdated manual ordering with an instant, automated system, saving time and reducing errors. ● Stock & logistics management – real-time inventory tracking prevents overstocking or shortages. ● Automated invoicing & payments – manufacturers get paid faster, improving cash flow and saving 30 minutes per invoice. ● Better sales & buyer access – a digital storefront allows manufacturers to showcase their entire range.
