Featured Program

We look to Retail Solutions to help our suppliers access and leverage our data. Retailer-supplier collaboration is a key strategy for Hannaford and we need a single version of the truth – a rich, up-to-date data set on which to base our decisions.

- Scott Craig, Director of Supply Chain Services, Hannaford

Why participate?

As a part of this program, goals for key shared metrics for our joint supply chain will be established.  We will then work with the suppliers participating in this program, using our shared data, to improve these metrics.  Hannaford will use Retail Solutions on an on-going basis to track each supplier’s progress.

We expect all our suppliers to participate in this program, and to find innovative and productive ways to leverage the information we share. 

Participating suppliers will have a unique opportunity to achieve performance differentiation with:

• Increased sales
• Better store level availability
• Lowered inventory levels across the supply chain
• Decreased shrink and reclaims levels
• Improved new product introduction and promotion design and execution
• More accurate forecasting
