What is ExpireIQ

ExpireIQ is an AI-powered solution designed for grocery and convenience stores to reduce food waste and labor costs through automated expiration tracking and virtual inventory management. Installed in refrigeration units, it scans and logs expiration dates as products are stocked—giving stores real-time visibility into freshness across all locations without manual effort.

The Problem

In grocery stores today, employees must manually check expiration dates across thousands of perishable items—a process that is slow, labor-intensive, and prone to human error. As a result, many items near their expiration date are overlooked and never discounted in time, leading to missed opportunities to sell them before they expire. This not only wastes employee hours but also contributes to significant food waste and lost revenue. Without a system to track expirations in real time and automatically update pricing to encourage sales, grocery stores are left with shelves of unsold, expired products and rising shrink costs. There is a clear need for a smarter, automated solution that reduces food waste, saves labor, and helps maximize sales of soon-to-expire inventory.

The Solution 

ExpireIQ automates expiration date tracking to eliminate manual checks and reduce food waste. By using AI-powered sensors installed inside refrigeration units, our system scans and logs expiration dates the moment products are stocked. This ensures accurate, real-time visibility into inventory freshness—saving time, reducing labor costs, and preventing expired products from staying on shelves. 

How it works   

ExpireIQ uses AI-powered sensors mounted in refrigeration units to automatically scan and log expiration dates as products are stocked—providing real-time, hands-free tracking without manual input.  

​1) Smart Scanning on Entry
​Our AI camera system captures the expiration date as items are stocked in refrigerated sections.

2) Real-Time Data Sync
​The captured data is instantly uploaded to your in-store iPad system.

3) At-A-Glance Expiry Dashboard
​ExpireIQ tracks every expiration date so your team knows exactly what’s going out of date — and when.

4) Alerts and Actions
​Set customizable alerts to notify your staff before items expire. Reduce shrinkage. Maximize sell-through.

Reduce Food Waste, Increase Efficiency

ExpireIQ is built for modern, large-scale grocery operations—where missed expirations and unmanaged markdowns can lead to significant food waste and lost revenue. Integrated with ESLs, ExpireIQ automates both expiration tracking and real-time price updates, ensuring soon-to-expire items are discounted and sold—not thrown away.

The result? Less waste, fewer manual checks, faster sell-through, and higher margins.

Connecting ESLs to ExpireIQ

ExpireIQ enhances store operations by scanning product expiration dates and alerting staff via an iPad when items are nearing their expiration. When integrated with Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), ExpireIQ becomes even more powerful. Using AI, ExpireIQ’s software can automatically trigger real-time price reductions on expiring products, which are instantly displayed on the ESLs. This seamless connection encourages faster product turnover, reduces food waste, and helps stores recover value from items that would otherwise be discarded. The result is a smarter, more sustainable pricing system that works in real time to minimize waste and maximize sales.
