Technology company Gander has announced a strategic service partnership agreement with C-Store Collective to reduce food waste while transforming consumers' spending habits significantly. Gander's new platform integrates directly with retailers’ point-of-sale (PoS) systems; it enables retailers to automatically display all reduced-to-clear food items available on their local store shelves in real time. This seamless integration ensures that shoppers are informed immediately about discounted items, enhancing their shopping experience and reducing food waste.
The platform is further enhanced by Ganderlytics, a proprietary analytics tool that provides companies with comprehensive data on all aspects of wastage at the store, area, or head office level. Ganderlytics delivers valuable insights into reduced-to-clear stock, wastage patterns, store compliance, redistribution efforts, and customer engagement metrics.
Gander currently operates across the UK and Australia.
