Bottom of Basket for Grocery Stores - Leverege

In the highly competitive grocery sector, where profit margins are notoriously tight and shrinkage rates hover around 3-4%—significantly higher than in non-grocery retail sectors—the need to address inventory loss is more critical than ever. A notable contributor to this shrinkage is items that are unintentionally left at the bottom of the basket in grocery stores, not scanned, and hence not paid for at checkout.

The Leverege Bottom of Basket solution stands as a direct countermeasure to this challenge, employing advanced detection technology to alert cashiers to the presence of overlooked items at the bottom of grocery carts. This ensures that all items are scanned and paid for, seamlessly integrating into the checkout process with a non-intrusive approach to effectively reduce shrinkage.

By targeting the overlooked bottom of the basket issue, this solution not only aids in reclaiming revenue that would otherwise be missed but also significantly enhances inventory management accuracy. The reduction in shrinkage directly translates to healthier profit margins for grocery stores, freeing up resources to enhance customer service and the overall shopping experience. The adoption of this innovative technology smooths out the checkout process, increasing customer satisfaction and fostering loyalty.

The Leverege Bottom of Basket solution offers grocery stores a smart, efficient strategy to tackle a common yet often underestimated problem.
