How Yume works

A food manufacturer has surplus food

There are many reasons why stock may be considered surplus. For example, a supplier may have a cancelled or incorrect order, no space for new stock or a product might be close to code. This can leave primary producers, wholesalers, distributors and manufacturers with tonnes of surplus food with a lack of time or the contacts to re-sell it.


The surplus food products are added to the Yume platform

Suppliers provide product details and information which is uploaded to Yume and made available to the Yume network of buyers.


A buyer can choose from a wide range of products at discounted prices

Buyers can sort products by category, price, best before date, deal size, and receive notifications about new products that have been added to the platform. Products are sold at a minimum of 20% below regular wholesale prices.
