Webinar Description: 

The pandemic has accelerated the need for retailers to enhance demand forecasting in fresh foods. Consumers have embraced ecommerce and insist on quicker turnaround times for orders, pickups and deliveries. 

Fresh foods has the opportunity to raise omnichannel sophistication levels by leveraging emerging technology to improve efficiencies, better anticipate consumer demand, and optimize inventory decisions across shopping channels and categories to ensure precise levels of fresh are in-stock at the right time.

In this webinar, Michael Lang, SVP Sales and Operating Partner, along with Joe Smirlies, SVP of Product, at Invatron, a technology leader of fresh food retail platforms, will be interviewed by Rick Stein, FMI’s vice president of Fresh. The discussion will expand on themes from the 2020 FMI FreshForward supply chain sessions, which were sponsored by Invatron.
