Stronger Together: How Empower Fresh Partners with Retailers to Drive Smarter Produce Operations

 

EMPOWER_FRESH_COVER

Russ Davis Wholesale has built a reputation for quality, service, and innovation in fresh distribution. Empower Fresh is proud to collaborate with RDW to extend that leadership into retail technology. Together, we’re helping independent grocers achieve the same efficiency and accuracy that large chains enjoy, while preserving the flexibility and local relevance that define regional retail.

Our partnership with Affiliated Foods Inc. (AFI) is built on a shared commitment to strengthen regional grocers through innovation. By integrating Empower Fresh’s AI forecasting and financial tools, AFI and its retail partners can achieve better consistency, reduce shrink, and deliver fresher product across their markets.

Empower Fresh and Four Seasons Produce share a vision: helping independents achieve the efficiency of national chains while maintaining the unique strengths of local retail. Four Seasons’ expertise in fresh distribution and Empower Fresh’s data-driven forecasting create a powerful combination for regional grocers. This partnership enables smarter ordering, reduced waste, and greater stability from grower to shelf.

We’re proud to partner with AWG (Associated Wholesale Grocers) to help independent retailers gain the same operational precision national chains enjoy, without losing their local touch. Through this collaboration, AWG retailers can leverage EmpowerFresh technology to achieve consistency, efficiency, and visibility in their produce departments. Together, we’re helping stores move beyond manual processes and bring AI-driven forecasting, margin tracking, and shrink control to the heart of fresh operations. Independent grocers are vital to their communities. Our shared mission with AWG is to make sure they have the tools to thrive.

Together, we’re empowering independent grocers with the same data-driven precision large chains use, while keeping the independence and community focus that define their legacy. These partnerships are about one goal: empowering independents to compete, grow, and serve their customers better every day. Together, we’re proving that “local” and “tech-driven” are not opposites, they’re the future of produce retail.
