intelligence software company Afresh has expanded its platform to manage all store departments, including center store, frozen foods, general merchandise, and health and beauty.<\/li>\n<li>Originally focused on fresh food areas like produce, meat, and prepared foods, Afresh now offers a single platform for replenishment, demand forecasting, inventory management, and distribution center purchasing across the entire store.<\/li>\n<li>CEO Matt Schwartz notes that overcoming challenges with fresh food operations enabled the technology to extend to other categories.<\/li>\n<li>The platform is built to handle products ranging from bulk produce and deli items to household goods and personal care products.<\/li>\n<li>Afresh&#8217;s system uses an AI engine that adapts through separate data models and workflows, handling the different conditions of various grocery departments.<\/li>\n<li>The platform provides inventory and ordering automation across departments, achieving over 95% recommendation adherence among store teams.<\/li>\n<li>The expansion builds upon Afresh&#8217;s existing management of packaged goods within fresh departments, which generated over 320 million orders for shelf-stable items last year.<\/li>\n<li>Retail technology can now be deployed standalone or integrated, with most implementations completed within four months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Afresh AI platform now covers all grocery departments
