Wasteless

Wasteless is software for supermarkets and food retailers that uses AI to set markdown prices for items nearing expiry. Modules add scan-based date checks, waste tracking, grind logs for ground meat compliance, and an analytics dashboard. It is sold to grocery chains and wholesalers, and works through a mobile app, printed labels or electronic shelf labels, connected to existing POS and ERP systems.
