## About Olio
Olio’s secure platform enables greater collaboration between acute and post-acute healthcare providers, so patients receive more coordinated care. The platform gives hospitals, physicians, and their teams clear and immediate insights into their patients’ conditions across the post-acute environment (skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, and outpatient physical therapy) to improve clinical outcomes and lower costs.




## Olio Reviews
  ### 1. Initiative to not to waste food

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Piyali S. | software developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Olio?**

Though this is a small startup, a small initiative can transform into a big goal. The best thing about this site is wherever there is a surplus of food, people for consumption less than wasting that food. We can donate the food to people in need.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

There is nothing much to dislike this, but the frontend and the performance of this must be improved so that more and more people like to use the app without any frustration

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Firstly, whenever any event is planned in my community, and the food is leftover, it makes us happy that without throwing that food into the trash, we feed it to those who genuinely need it.
Secondly, not only need food, clothes, and other essential commodities, we can deliver them wherever needed without wasting and creating a dump of those commodities.
Thirdly, this initiative is, most importantly, reducing household waste, which creates havoc in the surroundings.

  ### 2. Food Saviour

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nazim S. | Administration, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 29, 2023

**What do you like best about Olio?**

Food Waste Reduction: Olio addresses the crucial problem of food waste by giving people and companies a platform to share extra food with people and organisations who can use it. This proactive approach encourages sustainability and reduces food waste.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

Depending on the location, Olio's reach and accessibility may change. The effectiveness and user base of the app might be greater in some places, which might restrict access for people in areas where the service is not extensively used.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Social and economic benefits: Olio's influence extends beyond issues with the environment and food. It can lessen the burden on the local government's waste management resources by reducing food waste and promoting food sharing. By lowering the need for people and businesses to buy more food items, it may also have a positive economic impact in terms of possible cost savings.

  ### 3. Convenient food sharing, but confusing navigation

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Food & Beverages | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2023

**What do you like best about Olio?**

I recently discovered the Olio app and have been using it to reduce food waste in my community. The app is very user-friendly and makes it easy for me to find local food banks and charities that accept food donations. I love that I can take a photo of the excess food I have, add a description and post it on the app for someone nearby to pick up.

One of the things that I appreciate most about the app is the ability to track the impact of my donations. I can see how much food I have saved from going to waste and how many people I have helped. It gives me a sense of satisfaction knowing that I am making a difference in my community.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

Some areas could be improved. The app would benefit from a built-in messaging system for coordinating pick-up times. Currently, donors and recipients have to exchange contact information through the app, which is a bit cumbersome. A built-in messaging system would make the process smoother and more efficient. Additionally, it would be great to have the option to schedule a pick-up time in advance, for example, when I know I will be away from home.

Another improvement that could be made is to allow for more detailed tracking of donations. For example, it would be great to know how many meals I've donated were distributed to families, homeless shelters or schools.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Overall, the Olio app is an excellent tool for reducing food waste and helping those in need. With a few additional features, it could be even more effective in positively impacting communities. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to make a difference in their community and help reduce food waste.

  ### 4. Olio can save your patients

**Reviewed by:** Asariah T. | Wardrobe Stylist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 12, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

We love the way this once small start up, has streamlined the process of creating solutions to keep our customers out of the hospital at rapid rates! Based on their procedure and data collection

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

There wasn't much to dislike. We didn't have many problems. With a new start up there is always going to be a few bugs but we didn't run into too many issues at all.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to predict client medical issues in the near future had created a huge change and trust that our community knows we are looking out for them. We can easily create a data file for solutions before they come up

  ### 5. One of the best household sharing app

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Arafat Ahmad M. | Web Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

The most interesting part of this app is you can share the things you are not using anymore and also take things from your neighbor. This is a significant value of sharing.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

There is nothing I dislike about this service because they are well polished and they know what is the right thing to do with wasted household things. I love the service, nothing to complain about

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is helping us to give away our unwanted things to households that are really in need. We also got some products for almost free. This is the only one free sharing app that I can rate 10/10

  ### 6. Best Platform to share surplus food

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Divya B. | RECRUITER, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

By this, you and your neighbors can help to save the environment and things will reach the needy, by this we can stop food wastage.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

Categories should be increased , so that we can get more options to share many things

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

OLIO connects neighbors and local businesses so that excess food is shared rather than thrown away. This might be food reaching its expiration date at local supermarkets, extra homegrown veggies, bread from your baker, or goods in your fridge while you are away

  ### 7. "Best Place To Save Food"

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

It is a great idea for food management as it helps to save waste food and unuseful items/toys. The items that are not useful for us can be reused by someone who is going to get a new one.
It saves time and money. The app really does wonders.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

Some people don't respond to the requests may be because they don't give much attention after posting stuff. If they can do something about it that can be a great help.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Olio saves a lot of my cost for the stuff which I am going to buy new, now I can find it on OLIO.
Also it is the best way to save food and share it to people who needs it.

  ### 8. Health Care solutions for managing different means of communciation.

**Reviewed by:** Ashrith G. | Data analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

Health Care solutions for managment of PAC. The PAC business doesn't have many solutions, and this seems to be a good option to choose.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

The user interface can be improved. And connection diffrent 3rd party soruces can also be improved.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Managing a lot of things. Lets say a cusotmer needs a provider and we need a best way to reach them via phone or email. Olio can keep track of them at a time and give instant updates.

  ### 9. Local Sharing for the community

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

The idea of reducing Waste is very dominate tohelp all of us understand how good is to not waste food and send to someone in demand nearby. also it help us to standard the way we purchase items and Groceries and moderate the consumption of unnecessary food.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

The marketing and go to market approach is not as strong as it should be. I belive engaging more volunteering work stream may help the share of market and users to grow.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

form the environmental perspective it has a lot to say. because every day most of us water some food that we purchased out of need. or we just thought that we do not like them.

  ### 10. Olio is a fantastic way to track the entire patient journey throughout care!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Hospital & Health Care | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 08, 2022

**What do you like best about Olio?**

Olio provides an easy way for healthcare providers to track their patients' progress throughout post-acute care. This allows them to make more educated decisions regarding the patient and reduce potential risks for re-admission.

**What do you dislike about Olio?**

Sometimes when tracking a patient and their progress needs to be transferred between two departments, such as a physician and a specialist, the specialist needs a simplified version of the patient history, rather than full details.

**What problems is Olio solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Olio is creating an easy way for inter-department tracking of patients. Transferring patients is extremely simple. Olio helps me skip extensive time spent on patient briefings.

Their marketing. I wish I had found Olio sooner, but their go-to-market strategy seems to be lacking, especially regarding brand awareness. I recommend focusing on grassroots community marketing tactics to get the brand out there.
