How ICA Kvantum Sannegården is Pioneering Food Waste Prevention & Profitability

ICA Kvantum Helsingborg, an innovative hypermarket in Sweden's ICA chain, faced challenges with inefficient manual date checks, static product markdowns, and engaging customers in its food waste reduction mission. The store partnered with Upshop to implement its food waste reduction tools, including a date-checking app, to overcome these operational roadblocks.

By using Upshop's technology, including its Markdown Optimization tool and in-store sustainability screens, the store streamlined its operations. This solution led to a significant 40% reduction in food waste and a 1% increase in overall profitability, successfully proving that sustainability can also drive business performance.
