Snappy Shopper teams up with Gander

SNAPPY Shopper has teamed up with reduced price goods app Gander in a bid to reduce food waste.

The Gander app provides notifications on reduced to clear items in stores, automatically updating products on its app in line with the store’s point of sale system.

This tech will be integrated onto the Snappy Shopper platform, highlighting reduced price goods to consumers across categories on the app.

Retailers can offer an average 50% discount through the app to encourage shoppers to purchase before the items go to waste.

Since launch, Gander claims it has helped customers to save more than 15 million food items from going to waste and 14,500 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Dael Links, head of business-to-business marketing at Snappy Shopper, said: “Snappy Shopper’s partnership with Gander will mean that independent retailers can grow their sales, while reducing food wastage.

“We believe that Gander’s product enables convenience stores to improve their environmental impact and support their communities during the tough economic times ahead.”

Stacey Williams, head of business development at Gander, added: “The partnership is another positive step forward to help tackle these issues head on.

“It will expand access for consumers to save money on reduced food, help reduce food waste and therefore contribute to even greater savings in CO2 – plus improve bottom line of retailers as well as strengthen their sustainability ambitions.”
