What was the store’s shrinkage policy before partnering with Smartway?
Before turning to Smartway solutions, the Intermarché store at Aigrefeuille-sur-Maine already had a policy for repurposing shrinkage. It was based on manual markdowns at 5 days from the expiry date for 2 hours every 2 days. However, this management method was not very visible to consumers. Plus, in-store teams thought it was a waste of time and this left them feeling unmotivated.
Smartway now helps the store to manage its waste, improve its image of responsibility and optimize the productivity of its teams.
✔ Save time for staff
✔ Improve the store’s responsible image
✔ Increase repurposing of products
✔ Improve productivity by managing short-dated products
Each Smartway solution responds to a specific problem in the store

Choose the best repurposing strategy for each product with Smartdecision
Smartway’s teams of retail experts advised the Intermarché store at Aigrefeuille-sur-Maine to install the Smartdecision solution to automate the decisions around short-dated products.
The solutions are very intuitive, easy to learn and to use. The store can also rely on follow-up by Smartway teams and monthly costed listings to manage its shrinkage. The Intermarché Aigrefeuille store now repurposes up to 94% of its unsold food!
Processing time divided by 4
Up to 94% repurposing of shrinkage
Increase repurposing of products with Smartdiscount
Mr Léal, the store’s fresh produce manager, especially likes one of the Smartdiscount functionalities: automatic recognition of discounts applied at checkout.
Thanks to staff involvement in the process, the time taken to deal with shrinkage has been divided by 4 and so has the quantity of products wasted. Plus, the store has opted to set up Zero-Waste shelves, which centralise all short-dated products and guarantees an optimal resale rate.
The store has improved its responsible image, staff are valued and motivated by this daily task and the store is now more aware of “candidate” products for scrap.
