Wasteless is a real-time tracking solution for grocery stores, which offers customers variable pricing based on a product’s expiration date. This new tech solution promises to recapture one billion dollars worth of lost grocery sales every week. So, a carton of eggs that is set to expire at the end of the week will cost you less than the carton that has until the end of the month. This, the people behind Wasteless say, will help supermarkets sell more and waste less.
The Wasteless platform, a so-called “Internet of Groceries”, constantly monitors stock levels combining item-level RFID sensing, a dynamic pricing engine (which considers 43 factors including supply, demand, location, holidays, and time when calculating a price), and Electronic Shelf Labeling.
