MFM being aware of the shift in eating patterns, launched their idea to empower this self aware market to buy and deliver healthy food with much ease.

ColoredCow revamped their online shopping experience and implemented a new shipping model to capture larger remote markets.

 

Envisioning to ship fresh food void of preservatives at the convenience of it’s customer, MFM required to manually package multiple meals into custom iced containers and shipping them at a delivery time chosen by the customer.

 

A system was engineered to create a seamless synergy between their kitchen, packaging system and FedEx operations.
