Gander Australia

The Australian retail sector wastes 527 kilotonnes (or $4.4 billion) of food per year. For retailers, the value of their wasted food is equal to roughly double the profits from their sales. Gander is a world-first solution on a mission to prevent as much food as possible (ideally all) from becoming waste from a retailer's shelves. As a world-first solution, Gander connects retailers' near-waste food to local consumers via a mobile app. The app automatically showcases exactly what markdown items are available in store in real time so shoppers can browse or search for food to buy before it goes to waste. As a result, significantly more markdowns are sold meaning less go to waste and markdowns are sold faster meaning they are sold at higher margins. With Gander, retailers reduce their waste profitably while changing nothing to their in-store processes.
