Yume Procurement is pioneering the reduction of food waste through technology with its slogan, "Reduce food waste and turn write-offs into revenue with Australia’s #1 platform for surplus food management." Founded in 2015 by Katy Barfield (OAM), the former founding CEO of SecondBite, the company offers a comprehensive solution for managing surplus food inventory.
Yume serves as a digital platform for food manufacturers, streamlining the management of surplus products through automation. The platform caters to leading companies like Unilever, Mars Food, and General Mills, effectively digitizing historically manual processes to enhance revenue and diminish waste. This initiative not only generates profit from clearance, out-of-spec, or mislabelled products but also supports charitable donations.
With its foundation supported by the Atlassian Foundation, Yume Procurement is positioned as a transformative force in the Food and Beverage sector. Their latest acquisition investment on 01 March 2026 foresees continued growth and investor interest in sustainable food management solutions.
