Trust and Gander are unveiling a strategic partnership set to transform inventory management and markdown processes in grocery and convenience retail.
Presented at the Retail Technology Show 2025, this collaboration integrates Gander’s advanced markdown solution with Trust’s industry-leading inventory management and ePOS systems.
The new partnership between Trust and Gander aims to empower retailers by reducing food waste, optimising markdown strategies, and increasing revenue from previously under utilised stock.
Through seamless integration, Trust’s inventory management tool will log price reductions in real time, syncing directly with the Trust ePOS system and Gander’s markdown platform.
Once a reduced item is sold via the ePOS, it will be automatically removed from the inventory list and Gander’s marketing channels, ensuring accurate stock visibility.
Retailers will benefit from a significant reduction in food waste, as greater visibility of reduced-to-clear items ensures they reach consumers before expiration.
By turning markdowns into revenue opportunities, retail businesses can transform potential losses into sales, improving their overall profitability.
Seamless inventory control will allow for real-time updates that enhance forecasting and operational efficiency.
Additionally, shoppers will experience improved product availability and competitive pricing, contributing to a better overall customer experience.
Mike Dotson, Managing Director at Trust Retail, commented: “We are thrilled to showcase this strategic partnership at the Retail Technology Show, demonstrating how collaborative innovation in fintech and retail technology can deliver meaningful efficiencies for grocery and convenience retailers.
"By integrating cutting-edge payment, inventory, and markdown solutions, we continue to drive transformation in the retail space.”
Stacey Williams, Business Development Director at Gander, added: “Our partnership with Trust at RTS 2025 exemplifies how technology can optimise markdown management while driving sustainability.
"By leveraging digital platforms, we ensure retailers maximise their margins while reducing food waste, enhancing customer engagement, and streamlining store operations.”
Trust’s inventory management system integrates directly with Gander’s markdown platform, enabling real-time data updates that ensure accurate stock tracking and price reductions.
As soon as an item is marked down, it appears instantly on Gander’s marketing platform, retailer loyalty platforms, and online grocery sales channels.
Once a reduced item is purchased through the ePOS system, it is automatically removed from inventory and consumer-facing listings, ensuring precise stock control and eliminating discrepancies between in-store availability and digital promotions.
