    Foodland Supermarkets Australia, Franklin dos Santos – Chief Executive Officer

    “Retailers are under immense pressure due to rising business operating costs, high inflation, and reduced consumer disposable income driven by continued high interest rates and cost of living challenges. In this rapidly changing and competitive climate, investing in technology and automation has become the new battleground to deliver competitive advantage, speed of execution and optimisation of results.

    With Retail Express’s software, we will be able to do away with legacy systems and processes in favor of a system that supports the current retail challenges. The automation of many processes will remove the administrative burden, allowing our team to focus on delivering a more tailored approach to our customer offers and cementing key supplier relationships.

    Franklin dos Santos concludes: “The powerful solution from Retail Express provides high-quality AI-driven forecasting, allowing us far more visibility over plans and budgets while enabling a better understanding of pricing and promotions. With rules and targets automatically applied, the potential for error is removed, resulting in a comprehensive system that lets management review operations at any point, down to the finest detail. The system lets us work more collaboratively with our suppliers, eliminates the costly impact of errors and misalignment, and offers a much better, more competitive offering to our loyal customers, further solidifying our position as a leader in the market.”

    Retail Express’ Managing Director in Australia, Jeremy Menezes, explains: “The acceleration by retail leaders in their digital transformation journey is driving demand for intelligent merchandising solutions while removing the reliance on legacy IT infrastructure with its time-consuming and labour-intensive manual processes. It is essential for businesses to invest in systems now that will create a competitive advantage while helping to boost revenue. We are delighted to partner with Foodland as they invest in improving capabilities and optimising operations to improve flexibility and responsiveness, foster stronger supplier collaboration, reduce cost-to-serve and ensure safe, reliable service delivery to its retail customers.”
