This project is near and dear to my heart as I am very passionate about sustainable food production. As a member of various food cooperatives I have clearly seen the need for a simple, yet powerful tool that allows foodcoops to be more efficient.

WordPress and WooCommerce are the ideal platform, as they are widely available, easy to install and maintain, yet highly customizable through plugins and themes. Therefore I chose to develop a plugin that extends WordPress (with WooCommerce) to be used as an application to manage a foodcoop.

The plugin is in active development and is used by hundreds of users in Switzerland.

Custom backend interface developed with React and Material UI:

Create and manage collective orders

Import and export products, edit product information, categories, suppliers and producers

Manage members

Bookkeeping

Dedicated settings page

Addition of a user wallet with a custom WooCommerce payment gateway

Custom front-end product table and ordering flow developed with React

Custom importing and exporting functions for orders and products (PDF, CSV, XLSX)
