Case Study
How a 3-Location Grocery Chain Stopped Losing Money on Expired Stock: With One Morning Report
Greenway Fresh Markets was fighting a losing battle on two fronts: perishables expiring on shelves before they sold, and popular items going out of stock because nobody caught the dip in time. With three locations and a lean team, manual stock walks were taking hours every day; and still missing things. The owner had no way to see across all three stores at once.

"Agintex's AI inventory system tells me before I even get to the store. We've nearly halved our spoilage losses and my team has their mornings back."
The Challenge
Greenway Fresh Markets was fighting a losing battle on two fronts: perishables expiring on shelves before they sold, and popular items going out of stock because nobody caught the dip in time. With three locations and a lean team, manual stock walks were taking hours every day; and still missing things. The owner had no way to see across all three stores at once.
The Solution
Agintex built an AI inventory system that monitors stock levels and sales velocity across all three Greenway locations in real time. The system learns which products move fast, which are at expiry risk, and when to reorder; then acts on it automatically. Floor staff receive markdown alerts on their phones before items are due to expire. Low-stock notifications fire before the shelf is empty. Every morning, the owner gets one consolidated report covering all three stores; no visits required.
Key Results
41% | 3 Stores | 60% |
Reduction in spoilage losses | Managed from a single daily report | Fewer manual stock checks per week |
Connects to existing barcode scanners and checkout system; no new equipment needed.
Markdown alerts sent directly to staff phones the moment items approach expiry
Owner now manages all three locations in under 10 minutes each morning
How Results Were Measured
Measured over 8 weeks post-launch across all 3 locations, comparing spoilage losses and manual stock-check frequency against the prior quarter's average. Based on daily inventory and point-of-sale data from all three stores. Figures approved by the Greenway Fresh Markets owner.
