Federated Co-operatives Limited (Co-op Grocery Stores) has selected technology from Invafresh to help reduce food waste in its stores.

Owned by independent retail co-operatives from across Western Canada, FCL says that it selected Invafresh’s cloud native Fresh Retail Platform to improve product availability and freshness, enable associate productivity and department level profitability, and enhance consumer trust and loyalty.

“Invafresh has been a trusted technology supplier to us for many years, and we are thrilled to deliver their Production Planning solution to our retail co-operative members,” says Dave Pullar, Director, Fresh Food at FCL.

“Our partnership with FCL is a unique business model and we look forward to providing our high level of customer success to FCL’s network of food stores,” says Tim Spencer, CEO at Invafresh.

“Our team of Freshologists is rolling out our fresh native platform to help FCL’s network of food stores ensure the freshest selection of in-store produced foods and home meal replacement products at the highest quality are available at the right levels across their fresh assortments and offerings.”

“Consistency and quality in fresh food is the only way to build consumer trust and loyalty in the competitive grocery market, especially with today’s experiential consumer.”

“We are committed to being the best in Fresh and are enthused to provide FCL and their network of store operators with innovative solutions to help them to be the best in Fresh too.”
