Of all food produced, about one-third is never consumed, and a large part of that waste occurs in the store.
This is becoming an increasingly important priority, both from a cost perspective and, more importantly, from a sustainability perspective. To help combat food waste in grocery stores, Pricer offers solutions to make date checking efficient and to sell expiring products at the optimal price before they go to waste.
Reducing prices on short-dated products
Instead of checking for short dates on every product throughout the store, the system sends a list of products with short dates, allowing store employees to focus on those specific products. To quickly find the right product, the Instant Flash on electronic shelf labels (ESL) is used. This focus makes date checking significantly more efficient, resulting in major time savings and reduced food waste.
This also allows for price cuts on short-dated items, reducing the volume of food wasted and increasing sales.
Pricer is working with partners to create best-in-class waste management solutions. By combining a smart expiration date management and analytics system with Pricer’s real-time ESL capabilities, Pricer can offer waste management solutions that minimize food waste and maximize staff efficiency. The systems are fully integrated and field-validated by some of the world's largest food retailers, and are ready for immediate deployment.
