Coop Sverige (Sweden)

Carrefour Belgium has implemented an AI tracking tool from Swedish technology provider Deligate to efficiently manage expiration dates, optimise discounts and reduce food waste. The retailer has rolled out the date tracking tool to 83 of its largest stores in Belgium, following a successful pilot.

Australian retailer Coles is working with technology provider Northfolk to make menu planning easier for online shoppers. The Swedish start-up's platform provides personalised recipe suggestions and automatically adds the ingredients to the shopping basket.

Relex Solutions has acquired Formulate, a Swedish promotion planning and analytics company. One of the joint users of Formulate and Relex is the Swedish Coop, whose Värmland region is one of Relex's early customers in the field of inventory optimisation, but also staff planning.

After last Friday's cyber-attack, Coop Sweden had to close almost all its stores. With the help of its Scan&Pay app and by updating POS systems, outlets can reopen step by step.
