The Real Pressures on Retail

Independent retailers aren’t just competing with chains, they’re competing with chains that have already adopted AI.

⚠️ 2–4% of profit lost to shrink
⚠️ $161B in U.S. food waste each year
⚠️ Workforce turnover widening every season

EmpowerFresh tackles these head-on, making retail sustainable with smarter forecasting and less waste.

How long can independents afford to wait while chains get smarter?

 

 

The Unsold Story of Waste

Did you know 76% of food waste comes from perishables?
And produce alone makes up 34% of that waste.

Every LB wasted is profit lost, shoppers disappointed, and landfill added. EmpowerFresh fights this with better forecasting, shrink alerts, and visibility.

What story is your waste telling about your store?
