Introduction
In the fast-paced supermarket industry, managing perishable items presents a significant challenge. Daily, stores face the dilemma of expiring products that, if unsold, result in wastage and financial loss. Traditional methods of clearance, such as in-store discounts, often fail to reach enough customers in time. This not only impacts the supermarket's bottom line but also contributes to food waste—a growing environmental concern.
The Challenge with Perishable Items
Supermarkets deal with an array of perishable items that have short shelf lives and require rapid turnover to maintain freshness. The current system relies heavily on customers being in the right place at the right time to take advantage of discounts on items nearing expiration. This approach has several drawbacks:
- Limited Reach: Only customers present in the store can discover these deals.
- Inefficiency in Clearance: Many items remain unsold due to inadequate customer reach and awareness.
- Increased Waste: Unsold perishables often result in increased waste, affecting both economics and sustainability.
