Gen Z families are changing the way groceries are purchased.
A recent Grocery Dive article found that younger parents are more likely to buy prepared foods, shop online, and split their grocery spending across multiple retailers. As demand for fresh meal solutions continues to grow, grocers need greater flexibility in managing inventory and reducing waste.
That's where Fintech SBT can help. By improving visibility into fresh inventory levels and product movement, scan-based trading helps retailers keep freshly prepared foods available when customers want them while reducing excess production and shrink.
The result? Fresher products, less waste, and a better shopping experience for today's convenience-focused consumers. As grocery shopping habits evolve, technology that supports smarter fresh food management is becoming more important than ever.

Young parents tended to spread their grocery purchases among more retail channels than other consumers in 2025, according to an AlixPartners report.

For convenience retailers, accurate product data across costs, pack sizes, UPCs, vendor information, and pricing can have a direct impact on margins and day-to-day operations.
That’s where connected systems matter.
We’re continuing the conversation with PDI Technologies, Inc. in their latest blog, exploring how Fintech and PDI work together to help retailers validate product and invoice data, identify discrepancies, and create a more connected view of what’s being ordered, invoiced, and ultimately sold.
If you missed the conversation in Grapevine, this is a great place to start. 👇

How much is incomplete data costing your supply chain?
In a recent feature by Inbound Logistics, Fintech's Mark Landgren shares why relying on limited data is one of the costliest assumptions in logistics.
"Not using retailers' sales data to improve forecasting risks stockouts and deadstock because the right products aren't on the right shelves at the right time. The more data streams, the more accurate the forecast."
Better visibility leads to better forecasting, stronger retail partnerships, and fewer missed sales opportunities.
