The Heart of England Co-operative has implemented the solution from UK-based Cybake in its 38 stores to improve the freshness and availably of goods in its in-store bakery and food-to-go operations. The regional independent affiliate of the Co-operative Group in the UK plans with Cybake ISB the optimal production using forecasting and real-time sales data in multiple waves throughout each day.<\/p>\n

Cybake ISB notifies store employees which items to prepare or bake, when to produce them, and how to do so thanks to detailed, step-by-step instructions. By combining forecasting with real-time sales data, the system therefore plans optimal production schedules for each store throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Delivered via a cloud-based, multilingual interface, Cybake ISB is readily accessible to store teams on mobile devices. At the same time, the head office benefits from full visibility of multi-wave production across the estate, supported by clear reporting and key performance indicators.<\/p>\n

Driving sales while reducing waste<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The solution is designed to enhance product freshness and availability, thereby increasing sales while reducing waste. \u201cOur hot food-to-go sales increased by 20 per cent within weeks of deploying Cybake ISB\u201d said Paul Strong, Chief Operating Officer at Heart of England Co-operative.<\/p>\n

The platform also provides up-to-date product data, including recipes and ingredient lists, with comprehensive allergen, nutritional and dietary information, such as vegan and gluten-free classifications. In addition, Cybake ISB manages shelf-life coding for opened packaging, an essential feature in bakery environments where products are exposed to ambient conditions.<\/p>\n

Growth beyond its home market<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cybake\u2019s instore bakery production planning solution is used by several grocery retailers, forecourt store operators and retail bakery chains. Its domestic client base includes major retailers such as Marks & Spencer, as well as bakery chains including Cooplands and Wenzel\u2019s. The bakery optimisation specialist has been expanding beyond its home market as well, with a particular focus on North America over the past years.<\/p>\n
