Smartdetection is a date check solution, enabling store teams to identify and remove products that no longer comply with the store’s freshness charter, every morning. Smartdetection alerts are processed every morning, allowing the teams to keep an up-to-date database of the shortest use-by dates in the store. The solution allows for better management of short date products and optimises the time spent checking expiry dates at Intermarché Saint-Laurent-du-Var.

For efficient handling of end-of-life products, Intermarché Saint-Laurent-du-Var has chosen to rely on Smartdecision‘s Artificial Intelligence. Short-dated products are automatically guided to the most suitable and profitable repurposing channel for the store: donation or anti-waste discount. As a result, the store has achieved exceptional results: 0.72 % shrinkage rate and products are appropriately repurposed on a daily basis! For optimal efficiency, the store’s results are monitored each month by a dedicated Customer Success Manager and we provide available and responsive technical assistance for all team members.

Products with short use-by dates are removed from the shelves using Smartdetection and need to be repurposed. The store uses the Smartdiscount labelling solution to apply discounts to its products. Smartdiscount automatically calculates the best discount rate for the scanned product based on the product family and other parameters including the current date or day of the week. This efficient solution allows the teams to save a considerable amount of time in processing short-dated products every morning. Zero Waste labelled products sell for 75 %!

Intermarché Saint-Laurent-du-Var uses the Smartdonation solution, to make sure to donate its unsold goods with complete security. Smartdonation no longer requires transfer of signatures and mandatory documents between the charity and the store, meaning no documents to be filed, easy to retrieve donated product listings and the guarantee of receiving tax credit for food donations.
