Fresh Waste Prevention
Perishables trending to spoilage. Proposes markdown or pull timing.
Remaining shelf life on a fresh batch falls below the sell-through the current velocity can clear, with enough time left for a markdown to work.
Markdown scheduled in the POS price rules for the batch; waste projection updated in Relex.
Every write is gated on an approver role you name. Nothing runs unattended.
- Project sell-through to expiry per batch from current velocity, remaining life, and the day of week.
- Model the markdown ladder that clears it: how deep, how early, and what it costs against full write-off.
- Check the donation and staff-sale routes where the margin maths says the markdown will not clear it either.
- Push the recommended action to the department task list with a time on it, since a fresh markdown decided late is worthless.
- Close when the batch clears or is recorded as waste, and the decision is scored against what actually happened.
Recovered revenue per batch against the full write-off value, over a 30-day rolling window of decisions.
The case closes on this number, not on the action being taken. A playbook without a close condition is a dashboard.
