Case Study: Foodstuffs North Island reduces food waste with Upshop

Harnessing AI to Reduce Food Waste at Foodstuffs North Island

Foodstuffs North Island, a major New Zealand grocery co-operative, faced significant challenges with manual stock rotation that led to high levels of food waste and inefficient use of staff time. To address this, they partnered with Upshop to implement its AI-powered inventory management solution.

By leveraging Upshop's technology, which automates stock rotation using the FIFO method and real-time alerts, the co-operative achieved remarkable results. This includes a 90% reduction in food waste at one store and time savings of over 60 minutes per day, allowing staff to focus on customer service and further sustainability initiatives.
