The challenge

Fresh produce can change significantly from one week to the next

  • Assortments and suppliers are fluctuating
  • Price and promotions are updated every Monday
  • Retailers can make very different choices across regions

Have a continuous view of the fresh produce aisle

Retail Monitors measure the fresh produce market across the main retailers in European markets.

How it works: Each week, we visit a sample of stores and capture product-level information across the category. The data is brought together in a Power BI dashboard, where you can compare retailers, regions, suppliers, products and prices.
