Hele fijne samenwerking. Snelle communicatie en vooral toegankelijk. undefined
What i like the most about Figure8 is the combination of personal service and flexibility you get with the quality of work. I have worked with a lot of IT & Design firms and mostly the follow-up (when there are issues or details that need to be resolved) is the difficult part of any collaboration but with Figure8 you are guaranteed a fair and personal treatment. Keep up the good work! PS: They created our website & webshop and we are still working together on other projects within our seafood group undefined
A functional and professional looking website The flexibility and eye for problem solving
I had seen previous work from the figure8 team with the artist Arne Quinze, and this actually triggered me to contact them. M%y objective was to cross barriers of classical website manufacturing, and focus on content, rather then looks. Th fact that the team has listened to my requests

Description
Aster is a project aimed at addressing food insecurity in urban areas by connecting surplus food from restaurants and grocery stores with local community organizations and individuals in need.
Through a user-friendly mobile app, Aster allows food donors to easily upload information about their surplus food, which is then matched with nearby recipients who can pick up the food for free.
This innovative platform not only reduces food waste, but also provides nutritious meals to those who may not have access to them otherwise, creating a more sustainable and equitable food system.
Challenge
Urban areas often face a high amount of food waste from restaurants and grocery stores, while simultaneously experiencing food insecurity among certain populations.
There is a lack of efficient and accessible methods for redistributing surplus food to those in need, resulting in a significant amount of perfectly good food ending up in landfills.
Addressing this challenge requires a solution that can effectively connect food donors with recipients in a way that is convenient and timely.
Solution
Aster provides a technological solution through its mobile app that streamlines the process of food donation and distribution.
By leveraging location-based matching algorithms, Aster is able to connect food donors with nearby recipients in real-time, making the process quick and efficient.
The user-friendly interface of the app also ensures that both donors and recipients can easily navigate the platform, increasing participation and impact.
Impact
Aster has the potential to significantly reduce food waste in urban areas, while simultaneously providing nutritious meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity.
By diverting surplus food from landfills and redirecting it to those in need, Aster helps to create a more sustainable and equitable food system for all members of the community.
Ultimately, Aster aims to not only address the immediate issue of food insecurity, but also to promote long-term solutions that benefit both the environment and society as a whole.
