Shelf Engine, a startup that provides demand forecasting tools for perishable food items, has partnered with discount retailer Dollar General to provide customers with better access to fresh food using advanced AI ordering technology.

The partnership aims to improve the availability of fresh food at Dollar General stores through the use of Shelf Engine’s AI platform, which generates orders and optimizes in-stock levels. By integrating Shelf Engine's AI technology into operations, Dollar General hopes to enhance customer experience through better stock management and, consequently, a wider range of fresh produce while minimizing food waste.
