FGC 2023 in Sydney: data, AI and a TV for ReLove

In early November we sponsored the NZ Food & Grocery Council conference at the Hilton in Sydney, the industry's premier event, with a stand where people could meet the team, see our products and enter the draw for the latest Apple Watch.

Paul Miller also led a breakout session, Boosting Sales Team Efficiency: Exploring Data and AI in Today's Retail Climate. It looked at how data-driven strategies and AI are not just trends but vital tools for the future of retail:

• the value of predictive analytics,
• the power of business intelligence tools,
• the balance between technology and human insight, and
• the practical uses of AI in retail, and why embracing them matters to staying competitive.

At the heart of it: using the data you already have to help field teams improve retail execution, lift sales performance and reduce costs.

A TV for ReLove. One of the challenges of an offshore conference is hiring equipment at crazy hotel rental prices. This time we bought a TV at JB Hi-Fi, discounted to half price, and after the event donated it to ReLove, a Sydney charity that helps people in crisis restart their lives.
