VQe MaxStrip - Case Study
Retail Grocery Store, Michigan - USA
The final results for the Retail Produce Test showed that in the eight-week testing period the “test” store had 29.15% less fresh produce shrinkage and wastage.
Halfway though the test period, it was decided to compare shrinkage in the free standing strawberry cabinets located mid floor in produce.
The strawberry data for eight weeks generated a substantial 50.85% less shrinkage or discarded strawberries.
Major positive results were observed in the Meat and Seafood cabinets. The retailer remarked that more cash sales were generated because of extended product life and better presentation.
The 1-year ROI is 36.4%, the 5-year ROI raises to an outstanding 595%.

KTA Store, Hawaii - USA
Our VQe MaxStrips were installed in display cabinets containing leafy vegetables, pre-prepared cut fruits, berries, and seafood in a KTA superstore in Hawaii.
Their berries are lasting TWO DAYS longer in the retail sales cases, thereby causing sales to increase dramatically and customer returns to reduce due to extended freshness.
Mould growth has been delayed in fruit and vegetables.
KTAs refrigerated displays are staying cleaner for longer, with lower maintenance costs.
