The solution developed by Afresh uses the power ofartificial intelligence to manage fresh produce store forecasts, inventories and orders in order to minimize food waste and increase people's access to quality fresh food.

Founded in 2017, the solution developed by Afresh has already prevented 3.5M kg of food waste, 3.8k metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions andsaved 140M gallons of water. On average, the stores are reducing their food waste production by 25% and increasing their sales growth by almost 4%.

Afresh goes beyond traditional inventory solutions, tackling systemic inefficiencies in the food supply chain by taking into account food characteristics such as perishability and seasonality. By 2021, Afresh has tripled its consumer base and will serve 7% of U.S. grocery stores by the end of 2022.
