Discounting software specialist says food waste is a solvable problem
Summary
The good news, according to Emily Malina, president of B2B discounting software specialist Spoiler Alert, is that food waste is a solvable problem. Reducing food waste is #1 on Project Drawdown’s most impactful ways to address the climate crisis and there are solutions up and down the supply chain that are already driving results in the industry. Malina said the platform gives brands’ supply chain and sales teams the tools and data to make faster and smarter decisions related to channel, price, and logistics. It also frees up time and pinpoints opportunities for driving greater engagement with existing retail partners, as well as making it more seamless to develop new relationships. Faster service with more shelf life for their customers, and less waste in the landfill.” Other B2B discounting and liquidation tools were originally designed for durable goods like apparel or toys, which don’t face the same challenges around expiration dates, Malina said.
