Our story
TOUCAN Solutions was created in 2017 with the ambition of addressing the issue of food waste by networking players in the Quebec food system.
The project took off in 2019 after signing a partnership agreement with the Quebec Food Banks network. For this partner, we spent 5 years co-developing an integrated circular logistics platform connecting donors, logistics centers (Moisson) and the 1,500 front-line food aid agencies. The aim was to increase the network's capacity to feed more people in need.
The first platform module, focusing on the equitable distribution of donations between Quebec regions, was deployed in March 2020, when the covid-19 epidemic was destructuring distribution networks and multiplying requests for food aid. Since then, over 100,000 tons (220 million pounds) have passed through the TOUCAN collaborative platform. New features are deployed every month as part of a unique multi-year private/non-profit partnership.
Other collaborative projects have enabled Toucan Solutions to strengthen and diversify its expertise in mutualization projects, such as COLINOR, a road-sharing platform in the,Côte-Nord region and ARKIPEL, which takes TOUCAN Solutions' mission to another level.

Our mission
We believe in a society of free and responsible individuals voluntarily joining forces to create resilient and prosperous communities, connected to networks of exchange and solidarity.
The circles of family, friendship, affinity and mutual aid are the first spaces of commitment. From one to the next, these ties of sharing and collaboration weave our communities.
Our software tools are our contribution to the emergence of this vision.
Our mission is to support autonomous local action groups, which pool resources, exchange goods and services or share knowledge in the spirit of the circular and collaborative economy.
We are at the service of the people who bring together these small and large community projects.
