Problem
Grocery stores struggle to manage expiration dates manually, leading to excessive food waste, reduced margins, and inefficiencies. Without real-time visibility into which batches are expiring and how fast they sell, teams resort to guesswork that results in over-discounting, spoilage, and lost profits.
Solution
Shelflife provides an intelligence platform that makes expiration dates machine-readable, turning physical labels into live data signals connected directly to existing POS and inventory systems. The platform delivers batch-level inventory visibility, showing stock counts broken down by expiration date rather than just SKU, so teams know exactly what is expiring when and how quickly items are selling. Shelflife enables targeted markdowns applied to specific expiration-date batches instead of entire SKUs, ensuring only at-risk products are discounted while fresh stock retains full value. The AI optimization engine analyzes sell-through and expiration data to recommend markdown timing, flag shrink risks before they materialize, and forecast demand by freshness window — all without requiring manual data entry or system replacement.
