Case Study: Price Chopper reduces food waste and shrink with Upshop

Price Chopper Hits Sustainability Marks with Upshop Partnership

Price Chopper faced the challenge of managing its fresh food inventory efficiently to reduce waste and shrink. The retailer needed to accurately forecast customer demand, optimize production, and ensure regulatory compliance. To address this, they partnered with vendor Upshop and leveraged its expertise in fresh item management.

Upshop integrated in-store production data into intelligent algorithms to provide highly accurate demand forecasting for Price Chopper. This solution enabled optimal production planning and inventory management, leading to significant results. The partnership prevented 20 tons of food waste weekly, a projected 3,000 tons over three years, and earned the retailer a $100,000 grant. Upshop helped Price Chopper drastically reduce its environmental impact while improving operational efficiency.
