Groceryshop keynote this AM with Frans Muller, CEO Ahold Delhaize discussed how they are using dynamic pricing in Dutch markets adjusting prices every 15 minutes to move products before they expire, resulting in 450 tons of food SAVED from going to waste. This doesn’t just reduce waste; it also reaches price-conscious shoppers who benefit from great deals on items. It’s a win-win for consumers and the planet. Plus, there’s a big opportunity for brands to deepen their partnerships with retailers to drive solutions that make a real impact.

Is food labeling causing confusion? Interestingly, retailers are backing a new bill that requires manufacturers to only use two labels - “best if used by” and “use by” - to remove confusion and hopefully help reduce food waste. At Avery Dennison our teams have been working tirelessly to ensure that those dates are used in the decision making around promotions and dynamic pricing with the ultimate goal of reducing waste and improving margins for retailers. Improved visibility and accuracy made possible by digital identification solutions such as RFID are digitizing end to end supply chains in the food industry. Would you be interested to learn more? How much impact do you think this could have across the industry? https://lnkd.in/dxYUECva #RIFD #Labeling #Retail
