20 Years of Distressed Inventory
As a 20-year veteran of the industry, Teri says she didn’t expect this to be her lifelong career, but she quickly fell in love with the people she worked with and never looked back. With that much experience, Teri understands the challenges when it comes to excess food.
Reporting Data to Make Better, Faster Decisions
To help her and her team make smarter, faster decisions, Teri relies on Spoiler Alert’s post-sale analytics reporting tools, including Remaining Shelf Life Reporting and Leftover Reporting. “Before Spoiler Alert, I only had standard reports of what was sold and at what price,” says Teri.
Improved KPIs Leading to Evolution
“We started using Spoiler Alert not to change our KPIs, but to improve them,” says Teri. However, since implementing the platform, Teri says they’ve been able to use tools like reporting to help evolve how they track KPIs, looking at not just the how, but the why as well.
Challenge
Conagra needed a smarter way to manage distressed and excess inventory — reducing waste, improving recovery, and making faster, data-driven decisions.
Solution
By adopting Spoiler Alert’s intelligent platform, Conagra gained real-time visibility, powerful reporting tools, and seamless collaboration features.
Beyond Reporting
Beyond the reporting tools that Teri uses to help make data-driven decisions, Spoiler Alert’s other features also make her job easier and more efficient. Working on a bi-weekly cycle, Teri uploads her inventory spreadsheet on Mondays and awards final bids by Fridays.
