Common Challenges Faced by Food Retailers

Demand and Labour Uncertainty

Cost and Food Waste Management

Environmental Concerns

In the wake of a global pandemic, shoppers of all demographic sets are changing their habits in ways we never predicted. This has had a particularly large impact on retail grocery – from how shops handle, store and distribute products, to the workload and duties of store employees, to dealing with supply disruptions that have left shelves empty and shoppers frustrated.

Economic experts are quick to point out that we aren’t likely to "return to normal" but going forward, we will be defining what's "normal" under a new set of rules. If one of the key takeaways from this shifting environment was that the global food supply wasn't prepared to handle changes of this scale and speed, what does that mean for retailers dependent on this supply chain?

It means now, more than ever, you need to stay flexible and pivot when needed, whether that’s responding to demand or labour constraints, addressing shrink or complying with environmental regulations or consumer concerns about safety.

Stay Ahead of Uncertainty

The environment for retail grocery is undergoing some serious shifts. Record-low unemployment and the impact of a global pandemic have disrupted the reliability of the supply chain. Once-loyal brick-and-mortar shoppers have embraced E-commerce technology at rates much faster than previously predicted. Competition for acquiring and keeping skilled labour has never been more intense.

Manage Shrink to Maximise Profitability

While new competitive pressures, technological advances and evolving consumer attitudes and behaviours continue to drive change, forward-thinking grocers must also remain focused on managing shrink and profit optimisation. That’s especially true on the perimeter, where the quality and freshness of perishable items like fresh meats provides one of the last-remaining areas that can drive customer loyalty.
