Jisp touches milestone figure across Nisa stores

Jisp, the leading all-in-one shopping experience, has achieved 150,000 scans on shelf edge barcodes across 61 Nisa stores nationally. 4,300 shoppers have saved £70,000 since 13th September 2021, by scanning participating brands' product barcodes in stores.

This is a global first of localisation on shelf interactions by mixing realities of mobile and shelf edge in stores. Jisp’s leading conversion rates include that 95% of shoppers have scanned and added vouchers to their digital wallets, with 93% of those shoppers going on to redeem that product in-store.


James Taylor, Head of Central Operations, Nisa said: “This is an excellent milestone, and we are absolutely delighted that Nisa partners and their shoppers are benefiting Jisp’s innovative Scan & Save solution. We’re looking forward to many more of Nisa’s independent retailers getting onboard and reaping the rewards.”

Jisp is driving visits with new customers and repeat shoppers. 73% of customers are repeat shoppers, helping to drive loyalty locally to Nisa stores. Top-performing Nisa stores are achieving +£1.4k per week in RSV and 100 shoppers per week using Jisp to obtain exclusive discounts in-store.

Sunny Singh, the owner of Nisa store in Coventry said: “Scan & Save has been a huge success for our store. It has allowed us to offer promotional prices that are worth screaming about on social media. Prices that the big supermarkets can’t even touch. It brings in crowds of new customers, coming in daily to repeat the deals that too good to miss out on.”

Julian Fisher, the CEO and Founder of Jisp, said: “We are thrilled to see such positive results with our Nisa partners, and this is only the beginning! Scan & Save is helping shoppers save on everyday essentials which is something that is really needed at this time. For brands, we’re delivering industry-leading results and ROI, whilst helping them to understand the who, what, where and when of independent convenience retail.”

Surge recorded in whole food sales

Brits are increasingly leaning towards cooking from scratch and are ditching ultra processed food, thus embracing a much simpler approach to their diet, a recent report has stated.
According to a recent report from John Lewis Partnership released on Friday (17), supermarket Waitrose has reported that it’s back to basics for many in 2025 due to a growing awareness around ultra processed foods, with many turning away from low-fat, highly processed products in favour of less-processed, whole food ingredients.
Whole milk and full-fat Greek yogurt sales are up 11 per cent and 21 per cent compared to skimmed milk and Greek style yoghurt a year ago.
Block butter sales are up by +20 per cent as compared to dairy spreads while brown rice is seeing +7 per cent more sales as compared to white rice.
The report adds that sourdough bread sales are up by +20 per cent as compared to white bread while full fat Greek yoghurt recorded +21 per cent more sales than Greek style yoghurt.
Over the past 30 days, searches on Waitrose website whole food searches soared with ‘full fat milk’ and ‘full fat yoghurt’ skyrocketing 417 per cent and 233 per cent.
The shfit reflects the wider growing awareness of effects of ultra-processed foods, thanks in no small part to Dr Chris van Tulleken’s bestselling book Ultra-Processed People and its continued momentum in 2024 and into 2025.
His eye-opening, rigorously researched account of ultra-processed foods and their effect on our health turned many people towards cooking from scratch, with unprocessed or minimally processed ingredients.

Maddy Wilson, Director of Waitrose Own Brand comments, “There’s been a lot of bad press around so-called ‘healthy’ products which aren’t nutritious and don’t taste great, however the growing awareness of ultra processed food in our diets has seen many customers seeking the basics and embracing a much simpler approach to their diet.”

Waitrose Food & Drink report released last year highlighted that 54 per cent of those surveyed proactively avoid processed foods.
