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

Tech can fight food waste, but it’s ‘just one part of the solution’

In some ideal utopia, average consumers could solve the planet’s food waste problem simply by throwing less food out. Realistically, that will never happen. As the oft-cited stat goes, around one-third of the world’s food goes to waste each year. In more recent years, nonprofit think tank ReFED has made it abundantly clear that waste happens up and down the supply chain, not just in consumer homes.
