Problem
Retailers face significant losses due to food waste from reduced-to-clear (RTC) inventory. Inefficient systems for managing and selling these items lead to low sell-through rates and missed revenue opportunities. Consumers also miss out on potential savings from these discounted products.
Solution
Gander is a SaaS platform that connects retailers' point-of-sale (POS) systems to consumer channels, automating the process of displaying and selling RTC food inventory in real-time. The platform integrates with existing POS systems via API, or offers an out-of-the-box RTC app for retailers without existing systems. Retailers can select which channels to display their reductions on, maximizing sales and minimizing waste. Gander automatically updates inventory across selected channels without additional effort.
Target Audience
Gander targets retailers of all sizes looking to reduce food waste, increase sales of clearance items, and improve profit and loss through efficient RTC inventory management.
