Can independent grocery retailers compete in an AI-driven market?

Ever wondered who has the lowest prices in grocery across the UK? Acuity Pricing have started compiling a price comparison for most of the major grocery retailers. In week one, Aldi UK and Asda battle it out for pole position...

Sometimes the simplest ideas create the biggest impact. What if grocery brands could see their performance data exactly as their retailers see it? What if category discussions were based on shared insights rather than competing metrics? ASDA Xpert makes this possible for the first time in UK retail. The early results validate what we suspected: when brands base decisions on retailer-verified data rather than external estimates, performance improvements follow quickly. As one major brand told us: "We saw a noticeable boost in sales the very next day!" This is just the beginning of a new era in retailer-supplier partnership. #RetailData #PerformanceImprovement #Innovation #GroceryPartnership

✨ Today I learned about the difference between White Label and In-House Brands in retail strategy. 🔹 White Label: Products manufactured by one company but sold under multiple brand names. 🔹 In-House Brand: Products exclusively owned and sold by a retailer (e.g., Amazon’s Solimo). Understanding this distinction is crucial for anyone exploring retail, FMCG, or brand management, as it shapes pricing, positioning, and customer trust. #LearningEveryday #Retail #FMCG #BrandStrategy #WhiteLabel #InHouseBrand

Channel strategy defines the opportunity. To grow with Latino consumers, your route-to-market must differentiate: Modern Channel: chains and big box retail with category governance and strict execution KPIs. Traditional Channel: micro-retail/bodegas where proximity and immediate availability drive purchase. DSD: direct store delivery that enhances coverage, freshness, visibility, and replenishment speed. Aligning assortment, pack sizes, pricing, and promo mechanics by channel lifts conversion and profitability. Ethnix Group integrates data, category management, and field execution to reach the right Latino shopper. #restock #stores #latinproducts #distribution #B2BSolutions #supplier #snacks
