Our Mission to Support Independents

Independent grocers shape communities. They create local jobs, preserve regional identity, and keep food experiences personal. Empower Fresh AI exists to give independent retailers the competitive edge needed to grow in a changing industry.
Better tools. Better insights. Stronger margins. A stronger community.

 

Independents Can Beat Corporate Retailers

Large chains can compete on price and scale, but they cannot replicate hyper-local merchandising. Empower Fresh AI levels the financial playing field by giving independents the technology advantage they have historically lacked. You bring the local expertise. We bring the data. Together, you win your backyard every time.

Independents Excel in Fresh

Fresh is where independents shine. It is the department where customers recognize care, attention, and expertise. Empower Fresh AI elevates this strength by giving teams the tools to forecast better, merchandise smarter, and protect freshness at every step.
Independent retailers are the true specialists in fresh, and technology should support that advantage.

 

Critical Retailer Metrics: The Framework for Produce Success 

Inventory efficiency, labor optimization, procurement strategy, operational performance, and financial visibility are the core metrics that determine success in produce.

Empower Fresh brings clarity to each of these areas with real-time insights, automated forecasting, accurate vendor comparisons, and departmental financial tracking.

When every metric is visible and actionable, stores operate with precision and profit improves across the board.
