Tech firm Gander has announced a partnership with convenience industry consultancy C-Store Collective, to expand the reach of its food waste app to a broader customer base.
Damien Corcoran, Chief Operating Officer at Gander, said the partnership would leverage the strengths of both companies, combining Gander’s expertise in food waste management with C-Store Collective’s extensive market presence. “Together Gander and C-Store Collective will drive efficiency, improve profit and grow sales, whilst helping shoppers beat the cost-of-living crisis and preventing food from going to waste.”
Jonathan Rons, Co-Founder of C-Store Collective, added: “Gander’s solution drives sustainability and reduces food waste by enabling retailers to sell more reduced food, providing a win-win for retailers and shoppers. With Ganderlytics, the powerful analytical tool as part of the package, retailers will be able to track their improved performance when selling reduced food.
“We are delighted to strengthen our existing relationship with the Gander team and being their go-to contact for the convenience channel. We are looking forward to helping our clients solve problems they may have with waste, reductions, compliance, and driving sales.”
Claire Goddard, Marketing Manager at Pricewatch, was introduced to Gander by C-Store Collective. She said: “Partnering with Gander through C-Store Collective has revolutionised our sell through rate and waste reduction. Since 2021, we’ve sold 260,551 reductions and seen a 51% increase in our sell-through rate, thanks to strategic guidance from C-Store Collective.
“The Gander app has helped our customers save money, reduced our food waste, and saved 177 tonnes of CO2, underscoring our commitment to sustainability. This collaboration has significantly enhanced our operational efficiency and customer satisfaction.”
