Almost no one wants to spend time hearing of or worrying about this retail reality. Whether it’s from damage, theft (internal or external), spoilage, date-coded product, or bad ordering, shrink is a bane to profit, and it’s not easy to fix.

Itasca retailers have a different experience.

Think truck-to-shelf: Product is handled once by your team in the store before the customer takes it home. It’s not stored in an overcrowded and unorganized backroom/cooler. The results are truly astonishing:

• Average shrink reduction of 25% in packaged meat and produce
• 10-20% in dairy
• 3% in grocery

One of our valued customers was able to increase the shelf days of bagged salad two-fold by cross-docking store-allocated product!

The ramifications are clear: Inventory optimization from Itasca…Works! Sales are maximized. Orders are based upon consumer demand and there is less back-stock to handle and damage. The results are fresher product for your guests.

Really shrinking shrink. With Itasca, THIS is reality.

Let us tell you more about how you too can eliminate shrink.
