French convenience store operators often struggle with:
Perishable product management: Dairy, eggs, and fresh produce require precise temperature control to maintain quality.
Limited shelf space: Traditional counters cannot accommodate diverse product sizes and weights.
Operational inefficiency: Manual restocking and inventory tracking are time-consuming and prone to error.
Customer demand for transparency: Shoppers want product details like origin, ingredients, and expiry information.
Revenue optimization challenges: Lack of flexible promotions, bundle discounts, and analytics make it hard to increase sales.
These challenges can lead to lost revenue, high spoilage, and frustrated customers.
