TLM technologies tackles food waste

TLM technologies’ evoPOS integrates with digital platform Gander to tackle food waste. Gander’s real-time mobile app has been developed to help retailers sell more reduced-price food, quicker.

Retailers simply discount label their close-to-expiry date food as normal and evoPOS pushes the reduced food items to the Gander mobile app, in real-time. Local Gander app users see the reduced priced products appear automatically on their mobile with official imagery and dietary information — driving them in-store to purchase reduced priced items. As the items are sold, the app is updated in real-time.

Reducing wastage is key to improving sustainability so not only are customers happy that they have saved money (on average Gander shoppers save 56% on their food shop) but have the feel-good factor of helping the planet. Gander estimates that 16.5m food items have been purchased using their app, plus over 17,000 tonnes of CO2 saved.

Retailers benefit from decreasing wastage and increasing footfall and revenue (with most shoppers also buying full priced items). There is a big ‘ease of use’ factor for retailers too, once the integration to evoPOS and Gander is installed there is no additional process in-store. C-stores are simply marketing an area of the store that hasn’t been marketed before.
