WEBINAR ON DEMAND
Duration: 1 hour

In a year defined by labor shortages, inflationary pressure, and supply chain flux, operational drag is eating into grocery margins faster than ever. But leading retailers aren't fighting back with big CapEx or moonshot AI—they're winning by putting smarter tools in the hands of store teams.

This session explores how modern grocers are tackling margin erosion by fixing the real-world leaks—phantom inventory, food waste, inefficient markdowns, and scattered store execution. From shelf to system, we’ll look at how data (the useful kind—prescriptive, predictive, and priority-focused) is being converted into fast, practical action on the ground. We’ll also touch on how applied AI—when stripped of the hype—can quietly unlock hours of store productivity and better decision-making, especially when it’s embedded directly into shelf-level workflows. What it will cover:

• The biggest operational margin killers in 2025—and how to identify them
• Real retailer examples of tackling waste, hidden inventory gaps, and task overload
• The rise of intelligent tasking: how to direct shrinking store teams to what matters most
• Why low-CapEx, insight-to-action tools are outperforming heavyweight digital overhauls
• Where AI is actually helping (and where it’s just noise)
