Not a hamster wheel project
Learn how to challenge the typical never-ending backlog that IT departments face; a backlog comprising many varied technological projects of all shapes and sizes.
when seamless growth IS possible
We welcome innovation
“Well… We do… So long as we stay aligned with our IT department.” You may recognize some form or other of this statement, commonly heard in the corridors and meeting rooms of retailers. Even the most experienced and successful C-level executives might echo this enduring sentiment:
"Their concept may be more revolutionary than sliced bread, but, still, it is likely they will encounter a firewall of frustrated IT professionals sooner rather than later."
The real underlying issue, though, is the never-ending backlog that IT departments face; a backlog comprising many varied technological projects of all shapes and sizes. Some of these projects are laborious and time-consuming, and tend to become even more complicated throughout their execution.

A way out
To introduce our solution to the market, we adopted an alternative strategy to navigate this well-known IT challenge. This strategy is embodied in the Wasteless STORE.
Wasteless STORE adopts a modular approach, simplifying the initial setup of Wasteless to a mere single day. And the best part? It does so without tapping into IT resources, especially in its basic configuration.
Expand on the go
Wasteless STORE's basic configuration is an excellent starting point for your business and requires zero integrations. From there, retailers can add various "building blocks" like POS sell-out data, inventory data, waste data, etc., as needed.
Naturally, each integration a retailer incorporates enriches the system with more data leads to improved financial outcomes. Yet even in its basic configuration, Wasteless STORE revolutionizes the way retailers handle markdowns and waste, vastly outperforming traditional approaches, before any integrations are added.
Are you a fast mover? Enjoy it!
Below, we present a simulation showcasing the financial benefits that a typical supermarket chain can expect over 12 months of implementing Wasteless STORE.
For this simulation, we've based our calculations on a $5 billion turnover and the average waste and markdown percentages observed in the American market. Additionally, we've incorporated the typical sales increase demonstrated in our projects.
