TEIKEI organizes deliveries in recurring cycles.
This way, communities and members know well in advance when to order, plan, deliver, and pick up.
At the beginning of a delivery cycle, an order round is opened.
Members can select harvest shares for the planned delivery month.
This makes it visible whether the required delivery quantity can be reached.
The order round ends on the deadline.
From then on, quantities are planned bindingly.
After the deadline, logistical preparation begins.
Delivery usually takes place around the last Wednesday of the month.
Depending on the region, harvest, transport, and pickup location, the exact day may vary slightly.
The delivery first goes to the responsible distribution warehouse or directly to the pickup location.
After delivery, members pick up their harvest shares at the agreed pickup location.
Pickup is either supervised or unsupervised, depending on the community.
Pickup times and instructions are communicated in advance.
After pickup, the delivery cycle is completed.
Experiences from the month can be incorporated into the next order round.
This way, communities gradually improve their processes.
TEIKEI works with fixed delivery cycles.
This means:
A delivery cycle consists of an order round, deadline, planning, delivery, and pickup.
The fixed rhythm creates reliability for members, pickup locations, producers, and logistics.
