Fresh Food is a solution designed to provide different benefits related to the challenges faced by fresh food retailers, being able to keep an exhaustive control of the products and their expiration date, thus avoiding having exposed expired products. Also, all the manual processes related to inventory are facilitated, reducing the time spent in these tasks and allowing a more efficient management of store replacements, avoiding the annoying out of stock that customers usually have to deal with.
