Inspiration

A grocery store owner watched helplessly as their surplus vegetables spoiled, turning into worthless waste. This challenge inspired us to find a sustainable solution to prevent food loss.

What It Does

Our platform acts as a bridge between grocery stores with surplus vegetables and cold storage facilities, ensuring the produce is preserved and prevented from spoiling.

How We Built It

We developed the platform using:

  • FastAPI for the backend
  • React.js for the frontend
  • Nix Package Manager with nix-shell for dependency management, allowing seamless handling of frontend and backend dependencies across multiple devices
  • PostgreSQL as our database, running inside a Docker container

Challenges We Faced

  1. Lack of knowledge about the intricate components that collectively form a web platform
  2. Integrating the frontend and backend while implementing a secure token authentication system

Accomplishments We're Proud Of

  1. Efficient dependency management using Nix Package Manager
  2. Streamlined database management with Docker Compose
  3. Well-structured monetization strategies
  4. A clear and scalable product roadmap

What We Learned

  1. Coding is hard – but perseverance makes it easier
  2. Errors are frustrating – but debugging sharpens our skills
  3. Staying positive until the end is the key to overcoming challenges
  4. Sleepless nights are sometimes worth it when chasing great ideas

What's Next for SADUPAYOG

Our future plans include:

  • Expanding our platform to connect cold storage facilities with bulk buyers
  • Partnering with farmers, wholesalers, and supermarkets to enhance food rescue efforts
  • Collaborating with government bodies, NGOs, and sustainability organizations to scale impact
  • Developing a mobile application using React Native
