What was the store’s shrinkage policy before partnering with Smartway?

The Super U store at Thouaré-sur-Loire set out to limit food waste while optimising waste management. So working with Smartway was a logical choice. Before using the Smartdiscount labelling solution of the Food Waste Management System, the store was manually labelling short-dated products with a 30% discount.

Shelf staff were removing products by hand from the store’s stocks and discounted products did not necessarily sell well. Staff found that this waste management process was tedious and error-prone.

✔ Limit food loss
✔ Reduce store shrinkage
✔ Optimise the supermarket’s turnover
✔ Convey a positive image

Save a maximum amount of food products with Smartdiscount

With the Smartdiscount labelling station, the store can apply discount labels to short-dated products every morning. The solution offers a range of functionalities. For example, because the discount rate can be adjusted, the store can repurpose 75% of its shrinkage while preserving maximum profitability.

Smartway’s teams of retail experts have also advised the Super U store at Thouaré-sur-Loire to set up Zero Waste shelves. The goal is to make its discounted products even more attractive for sale and optimize its turnover from short-dated products.

With Smartdiscount, stock management and accuracy are improved. Coupled with the growing sales of short-dated products, this boosts the store’s earnings while effectively combating food waste.
