A NORTHERN Ireland app designed to reduce food waste has hit 41,000 downloads in its first four months.

Gander integrates directly with a point of sale (POS), which enables retailers to automatically display to shoppers in real-time all reduced-to-clear food on the shelves within their local store.

One of Gander’s founders Ashley Osbourne, said up to 45 per cent more reduced-price food has been sold.

“We had expected a decent level of interest, but never envisaged the degree of downloads - especially when only trialled in Northern Ireland initially. The level of positive buy-in demonstrated by customers and retailers alike has been phenomenal and testament that Gander’s proposition is a great fit for consumers out there.”
