The new power in the warehouse for more efficient disposal

The disposal of outer packaging and cardboard packaging is one of the tasks in the food retail trade, to which little attention is paid. Even when potential savings are obvious, many companies have difficulties in tackling the issue. Because the tearing and pressing of the waste take place far away from the customer traffic, it is rather seen as annoying. Priority is given to the core business. While many sales processes have therefore already been optimized for efficiency, disposal often remains an invisible time eater, causing .

How to create unforgettable shopping experiences for your customers

When supermarket customers are greeted with sweet pineapple or the scent of freshly fried potato pancakes, there is often a clever concept behind it. In the competition against convenient online retailing, retailers appeal to all their cutomers’ senses to make shopping an experience. The supermarket should become a place where customers enjoy to spend their time. It is not primarily the type of marketing that is important, but the quality of the product range.
