**What is the "Food Bank Operations Management System"?**
This system is a cloud-based system specialized for operations, developed to support food bank activities.
It is equipped with diverse functions that streamline complex tasks required in the field, such as inventory management of donated goods, donation management, performance management, and personal information management.
In particular, its traceability function makes it possible to visualize the flow of 'when, what, from whom to whom (corporate or individual donors → beneficiaries such as the needy or children's cafeterias)' and to provide trace information to donating companies. This makes it easier for donating companies to receive tax benefits, and also contributes to promoting food donations and reducing food loss.
Furthermore, in November 2024, this system received the Vice-Grand Prize in the Social Industry-Specific ASP/SaaS category at the '18th ASPIC Cloud Award 2024' (supported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications). (From Aqualeaf HP: https://www.foodbank.systems/3893/)
