Smartway scores a double win at the Perifem Awards!
More than 300 distributors and partners met on 14 October 2021 for the 3rd Perifem Day during which winners of Perifem Awards, highlighting projects in Perifem’s three business areas—Energy/Environment, Safety/Security and Technological Innovation—were announced:
This year, 68 applications were examined by a jury composed of brand managers and members of the Perifem team.
Smartway won two awards:
- via the fantastic results of E.Leclerc Plougastel in reducing food waste
- through its partnership with SES-imagotag to go even further in enhancing the comfort of employees who work the aisles every morning
Spectacular food waste reduction figures
The E.Leclerc store in Plougastel won a trophy in the Environment – Project of Today category. This store relies on Smartway for a profitable reduction of food waste using all 4 solutions, Smartdetection, Smartdecison, Smartdiscount and Smartdonation to optimize the entire food waste management.
The social, environmental and economic benefits are enormous, with a 10% reduction in gross waste over the last 3 years, 70% of value saved in stores and a 0.22% reduction in residual losses.
Time savings, comfort and efficiency for the teams working the shelves
Smartway, in collaboration with SES-imagotag, a world leader in the digitisation of physical retailers, won a trophy in the category Technologies – Project of Tomorrow.
The two companies have developed a unique in-store short-date detection solution that uses Smartdetection software to list soon-to-expire products. These are then located in the store using the flashing SES-imagotag smart labels. This saves precious time every day for the teams working the shelves!
“This award is a great source of pride and is the result of several months of quality work carried out jointly by our teams and those of SES-imagotag. I can’t wait to see the labels flashing in stores and the store teams’ satisfaction with the ease of use and the optimization of their time,” says Guillaume Vicot, Chief Revenue Officer at Smartway.
