AI-Enabled Price Markdowns for Groceries


  • The Fresh Clearance Challenge

    As consumers face tough economic times and grocery retailers experience intensifying competition, grocers need to effectively manage pricing and markdown processes for expiring products to maximise margins and improve customer satisfaction. Markdown pricing directly contributes to sustainability goals in helping to minimise and control waste. Deploying AI to make smarter decisions means grocery retailers are empowered to be agile when reacting to market disruptions while maintaining a steady line in the omnichannel customer experience. With Blue Yonder's Luminate Pricing Real Time solution, markdown prices are automated based on your desired business strategy to maximise sales and profits, reduce waste and clear inventory.
