Your expiring food
is worth $2.3M.
SurFlow routes surplus inventory to donations, calculates §170(e)(3) tax credits, and generates IRS-ready documentation — automatically, across every location.
Millions in tax credits expire alongside your food.
Under §170(e)(3), grocery retailers can claim enhanced deductions for donated food. Most operators leave this money unclaimed — not because they don't donate, but because they can't document it at scale.
- ✕Manual tracking misses items across departments
- ✕No standardized process across locations
- ✕Audit-ready documentation is nearly impossible
- ✕Tax advisors can't value what isn't tracked
identified per operator
Numbers operators care about.
Detect. Donate. Document.
Three stages. Zero manual work. Every dollar documented.
Detect surplus
SurFlow connects to your existing POS and inventory systems, applying deterministic rules to flag items approaching expiration. No manual scanning — it runs every day.
Route & donate
Flagged items route to donation workflows with partner nonprofits. Staff receive clear instructions. Pickups are logged with timestamps, weights, and partner confirmation.
Document & recover
§170(e)(3) valuations are calculated automatically. IRS-ready documentation is generated per donation, per store, per period — exportable in one click for your tax advisors.
