PantryEasy Features and Benefits

Expand your impact and stretch your service area with an easy-to-operate online market

Completely customizable

You set your own menus, product offerings, and shopping windows. Name your products, add your own pictures, and create your own categories.

Access the data you need

Download data and reports you can use to streamline operations and help more families, faster.

Multiple locations, one online market

Add multiple pickup locations, times, and special offerings. Easily build your distribution calendar weeks or months at a time.

Mobile-friendly

Many of your clients don’t have access to a computer or internet. PantryEasy’s online market was designed to be easily navigable on a phone or tablet.

Customize your ordering and distribution rules

You control every aspect of the shopping and pickup process. Create specific dietary-need menus, set ordering limits on items or food categories, and customize which products can be distributed at each location.

“There was a void in this area before, for pantries. They couldn’t manage the kinds of foods they were offering. But this is going to strengthen our process and our ability to grab good information and make better decisions”

Know your clients better

Track metrics like no-shows, new registrations, and household sizes to ensure your pantry is always prepared. At-a-glance graphs show your most popular products— and what isn’t moving.

“Now you can accept new client registrations at the time of ordering or on-site. All that demographic and ordering data is available to download or plug right into your client database.”

Optimize your order fulfillment

Download a sortable picklist that minimizes your staff or volunteer’s picking time. On distribution day, view and update client orders in real time.

“The ability to sort your picklists by warehouse area or shelves is a gamechanger. It saves your pickers considerable time and energy, allowing your pantry to serve more families.”

Eric

PantryEasy Co-Founder

“We don’t always know what foods are going to come in. The administrative piece of PantryEasy that allows us to better manage an environment like this is very important. And as new clients come in, the registration process and ability to quickly connect them to food is a huge plus.”

Jane MacDonald

Director of Community Health, Loaves & Fishes

Sort your online market experience

Display products alphabetically or by popularity, put healthier options at the top of your market, or categorize products by type. Add subcategories and custom ordering limits to further tailor the shopping experience.

“We hear from pantries how this shopping feature helps clients feel like they’re truly shopping at a grocery store. It gives them dignity and greater choice.”

Matt

PantryEasy Co-Founder

Set your own shopping windows

Shorten or widen your shopping windows to give your team optimal time for order fulfillment. While your clients are shopping, automatic low threshold alerts tell you when it’s time to restock.

“Custom shopping windows help pantries better manage their fluctuating inventory and prepare for distribution day. Better inventory management helps eliminate uncertainty and minimize waste.”

Eric

PantryEasy Co-Founder

“Online ordering offers clients the ability to choose and to pick the foods that their family enjoys and that they want to build their home menu with, without the waste of a pre-pack that might include food they don’t enjoy as much. PantryEasy allows us to give these clients choices again.”
