The Challenge

Fresh departments across a regional hypermarket group had no consistent way to log or analyze waste, so shrinkage in fresh categories was eroding margin without a clear cause.

Our Approach

We deployed the Fresh Waste Tracker application alongside a fresh food operations consulting engagement to build daily waste logging discipline and department accountability.

Implementation

Department teams were trained on daily entry, reason coding was standardized across departments, and weekly waste reviews were introduced with store management.

Results

Within one quarter, fresh waste as a percentage of fresh sales declined meaningfully across the group, with the largest gains in produce and bakery.
