AI adoption will grow in 2024 as more retailers turn to the technology to boost promotions, increase profits, and reduce food waste, according to Tommi Vilkamo, Director of RELEX Solutions, provider of unified supply chain and retail planning solutions.

A new report by RELEX Solutions has found that in the last year, the company’s AI-driven solutions helped RELEX food retail customers worldwide save a combined estimated 11 million kg of food waste across the supply chain thanks to more accurate forecast and inventory optimisation - the equivalent of more than 35,000 tons of CO2.
