Case Study: SPAR Denmark cuts food waste with Upshop

SPAR Denmark’s Innovative Stand Against Food Waste

SPAR Denmark, part of the international grocery retailer SPAR, partnered with Upshop to advance its sustainability goals and reduce food waste. The challenge was to better manage products nearing their expiration date to decrease waste and operational costs.

Upshop implemented its Expiration Date Management and Markdown Optimization solutions to intelligently track expiry dates and use AI to determine optimal discount pricing. This solution from Upshop delivered significant results, including a 40% reduction in food waste and average savings of $26,000 per store per year, helping SPAR progress toward its ESG targets.
