Afresh

Stater Bros. Markets is expanding its partnership with Afresh to unify fresh inventory decisions from stores to distribution centers. Following strong results using Afresh’s AI-powered Fresh Replenishment in produce, Stater Bros. is scaling the platform into additional fresh departments and extending that same intelligence upstream with DC Forecast. Together, this creates a more connected approach to fresh inventory — linking real store demand directly to buying decisions at the distribution center. Fresh categories are complex by nature: perishable items, frequent ordering, promotions, and constant variability. Traditional forecasting tools weren’t built for that reality. Afresh’s AI is purpose-built for fresh, helping retailers adapt in real time, reduce waste, improve availability, and operate with greater confidence across the fresh supply chain. We’re proud to partner with the Stater Bros. team as they continue to modernize fresh operations and deliver fresher food to their communities. https://lnkd.in/dRTfUaxc

We’re honored to be part of the #NRF2026 Innovators Showcase. This year at NRF, Afresh is proud to join some of the most forward-thinking companies shaping the future of retail. Being a part of the Innovators Showcase is a meaningful moment for our team — and a reflection of the momentum behind fresh-first, AI-powered decision-making. Fresh is one of the most complex areas in grocery, and it deserves technology built specifically for it. We’re excited to show how Afresh helps grocers navigate the volatility of fresh with solutions like Fresh Buying, Fresh Replenishment, Production Planning, and Period Ending Inventory. If you’re attending NRF, come meet us in the Innovators Showcase at booth 8145. See you in New York! 👋

Afresh is growing—and so is our leadership team! Following our biggest year yet, with over 70% YoY growth and presence across 12,000 grocery departments, we’re excited to welcome Adam Litle as our Chief Revenue Officer. Adam brings years of experience building and scaling food, agriculture, and retail technology companies. He’ll lead Afresh’s go-to-market strategy as we expand our AI platform across merchandising, operations, and supply chain organizations to help grocery teams plan, buy, and operate fresh categories with greater precision. After launching many new products in 2025 (including Production Planning, Period Ending Inventory, Fresh Buying, and major enhancements to Fresh Replenishment), Afresh is poised to enter its next phase of growth across the U.S. and international markets. Backed by a tenured leadership team and strong momentum, Afresh is building the future of fresh. We’re excited for you to see what’s ahead. https://lnkd.in/eaVN9WJr

We’re excited to share that Supermarket Perimeter recapped our biggest milestones of the year, from launching our most ambitious products yet to expanding partnerships with some of the nation’s largest grocers. The momentum across fresh is real, and we’re proud to help teams operate smarter, waste less, and deliver the freshest experience possible with: ➡️ The Fresh Store Suite, which connects production planning, fresh replenishment, and inventory management while helping retailers boost profitability, cut waste, and sell fresher food. ➡️ Fresh Buying, which brings modern AI to distribution centers by automating daily priorities, optimizing purchasing decisions, and giving buyers time back to strengthen relationships with vendors. ➡️ An expanded partnership with Albertsons, which rolled out Fresh Replenishment across all bakery and deli departments nationwide and now uses Afresh across every fresh department and all fresh DCs. 2025 was another breakthrough year for Afresh — and we’re just getting started. https://lnkd.in/gPYfHHzJ

Buying for fresh shouldn't mean juggling spreadsheets or racing the clock — yet for many teams, that’s still the daily reality. On Flashfood's The Leftovers, our CEO Matt Schwartz shares how fresh-first AI is changing that reality entirely — and illustrates what happens when buyers finally have the bandwidth to think ahead: they build stronger supplier relationships and drive meaningful category growth. That’s the heart Afresh Fresh Buying: ➡️ Automate the busywork ➡️ Give buyers time to be strategic ➡️ Improve freshness, margins, and consistency at scale

Introducing the Next Era of Fresh Buying Every grocer knows modernization is critical to staying competitive. But when it comes to Fresh buying, the tools that transformed the rest of retail simply haven’t worked. Even as technology advanced, Fresh data was too fragmented, too inconsistent, and too fast-changing for traditional systems to handle. That changes today. Together with our partners at Wakefern Food Corp., we’re proud to launch Afresh Fresh Buying, the first AI-powered solution built specifically for the pace and complexity of fresh food. Fresh Buying brings every critical signal, like forecasts, vendor performance, QA holds, and store demand into one connected platform that works at fresh speed. Here’s what it means for fresh buyers: ✅ A clear, prioritized plan for the day — focusing attention where it matters most. ✅ Real-time visibility across the supply chain — so teams can stay ahead of issues, not react to them. ✅ Instant, intelligent recommendations — adapting in minutes when conditions change. The result: fewer delays, less waste, and fresher food on shelves. Fresh buying finally has the technology it deserves. https://lnkd.in/ezsWR2Qi

This expansion represents more than just technology — it’s a leap forward in how grocery teams run fresh, setting a new standard for accuracy, efficiency, and sustainability across every department. 👉 Read the full announcement → https://lnkd.in/gPMypCvh
