Local Food Links is a social enterprise providing healthy cooked meals made from fresh, locally-sourced ingredients to school children at over fifty sites in Dorset.

LFL approached us in 2019 for assistance in replacing their existing bespoke ERP and e-commerce application. Our role was to guide LFL in defining their requirements, then find a solution that could fit in their budget and launch before the start of the next academic year.

We managed the RFP process, creating a vendor pack and scoring responses from competing suppliers from commercial, technical and strategic perspectives. Our recommendation was to work with SimpleWeb, a digital agency with strong credentials and previous experience in the catering sector.

Over 6 months, we helped manage the development and delivery of the new mobile-friendly application, working with LFL and SimpleWeb to keep priorities, technology and spend aligned. Despite the global challenges of 2020, the system went live at the start of the academic year in September.

The new system has been a big hit, especially with parents. Thank you for bringing that technical and project expertise into the project, it made all the difference.
