A fresh approach

Fresh is fundamentally different and more complex than center store. Drive results with the right tool for the job.

Center store data

Consistent UPCs, pack sizes, and discrete units are clean and predictable

Fresh department data

Multiple factors shift daily, making data highly variable and hard to predict

Center store merchandising

Biannual planograms are mostly static with some promotions

Fresh merchandising 

Fresh displays shift constantly to accommodate variability, seasonality, and quality

Center store workflows

Consistent packaging and barcodes make inventory management straight-forward

Fresh team workflows

Teams need to manage a wide variety of item types, including hyper-perishables and random weights

We're still looking for those individuals who approach produce as an art. But with Afresh, if a produce manager leaves, the knowledge that you'll have an increase in cherry orders during the summer doesn't leave with them.

    Case Study

Afresh and Alvarez & Marsal CRG Partner to Save U.S. Value Grocer Gain an Estimated $2.7M Annually

A U.S. value grocer sought to provide its customers – especially those in areas with limited access to nutritious food – with affordable, fresh produce at a competitive price. Yet high shink, staff turnover, and low inventory turns highlighted issues with their centralized distribution model and prevented stores from achieving the degree of operational efficiency required to keep produce at optimal freshness and pass savings along to customers.
