Run Your Entire Food Rescue Operation From One Platform
Careit replaces spreadsheets, emails, and manual tracking with one system for scheduling, driver management, donation tracking, donor receipts, and reporting.
The challenges every food recovery agency knows too well
Food movers coordinate a lot of people and a lot of details. When the tools are disconnected, the operation depends on heroic manual tracking.
The run queue changes fast
New pickups, changed times, donor notes, recipient details, and open driver slots all need one place to land.
Notifications have to reach the right people
Drivers need assignments and reminders, coordinators need changes flagged, and no one wants to manage it all by hand.
Incomplete runs create cleanup work
Missing weights, completion notes, and late updates make reporting harder long after the food has already moved.
Generic software misses the workflow
Food recovery connects donors, recipients, drivers, pickups, receipts, and reporting. Most tools only handle one piece.

Careit keeps the moving parts of each pickup connected: donor, recipient, assigned driver, reminders, status changes, completion details, and the data your team needs later.
Run intake queue
View pending and scheduled food runs with status, pickup window, donor, recipient, and assigned driver attached.
Driver and route notifications
Send available-run alerts, assignment updates, upcoming-run reminders, and change notices without rebuilding the run.
Completion follow-up
Flag runs that still need weights, photos, notes, or final status so records stay useful after pickup.
Reusable operating history
Keep donor, recipient, driver, weights, timestamps, and completion details tied to the run for later exports and reviews.
