What do you mean, you always check the expiration date of your food products without any tools? You mean that every morning, your teams check the expiration dates of hundreds (or even thousands) of products in all your departments by eye? Smartway gives you 5 reasons to change that right now!
1. A considerable time saving for your teams
As you can see, at Smartway we believe that date control is a tedious task for your in-store teams. Indeed, on average, out of 100 products to be checked, only 3 or 4 have to be removed from the shelf… What a waste of time to perform this task by eye!
By implementing a date control solution like Smartdetection (rightly called the GPS of short dates), you are sure to save time every morning. And between us, who doesn’t like saving time?
2. And more time for other important tasks!
Shelving, ordering, restocking, facing, tidying up… Before the opening of your point of sale, a real ballet is set up in your shelves, and there is not a minute to lose! Saving time on the daily control-date means freeing up time for other important tasks: cleaning, preparation of cash register equipment, decoration and merchandising…
3. The guarantee of not having any out-of-date product (or out of freshness charter) on the shelf
We see you coming, you think (rightly) that no product is out of date in your shelves. You might be surprised to find out the truth! And we don’t blame you, a date control performed without an adapted tool is a long and time-consuming task, a product close to its expiration date can quickly hide at the bottom of the shelf (and this, even if your teams pay the greatest attention to the date control).
With an automatic tool, you are alerted each morning on the references to be controlled. In other words, by following the tool, it is impossible to find an out-of-charter or out-of-date product on the shelf. Knowing that for a single expired product found on the shelf you risk a fine, if we were you we would be happy to have an assistant!
Did you know that? Our tool Smartdetection is 100% adaptable to your point of sale: your freshness charters are entirely customizable within the tool.
4. Reduce food waste in your store
Saving time on a tedious task is already a good thing. But detecting your products close to their expiration date allows you to fight efficiently against food waste! A detected product is a product still good to be saved: you can therefore act by giving it an anti-waste discount, by putting it in an anti-waste basket or by giving it to a charity. And all of this is much better than letting it expire on the shelf, right?
5. A chance to save even more products
By detecting products before their expiration date directly on your shelves, you give the product an extra chance (and days) to be saved! By adding to your detection process an anti-waste labeling solution like Smartdiscount, you can effectively resell your unsold products and thus reduce your supermarket’s food waste. In addition, consumers always like to have anti-waste discounts and improve their purchasing power.
Digitalizing the date control is a sure way to save time and money.
