Afresh builds AI-powered software that helps grocery stores manage fresh food departments more effectively. The company's Fresh Operating System provides demand forecasting and inventory management tools designed to reduce waste in perishable categories - produce, meat, dairy, and similar items - where ordering decisions are frequent and product variability is high.
Partners across North America, including Albertsons, Wakefern, and Stater Bros., use the system to improve stocking decisions and minimize waste. The typical result is a 25% reduction in food waste, alongside better product availability and improved profitability. Collectively, Afresh's platform has helped prevent over 200 million pounds of food from reaching landfills.
The company operates at the intersection of operational efficiency and sustainability. By helping grocers make smarter ordering and stocking decisions, Afresh addresses both the practical challenge of perishable inventory management and the broader environmental problem of food waste in retail.
