Process module – automated baking processes, controlled freshness
The "Process" module from Shop-IQ optimizes baking processes with AI: automatically controlled baking schedules, pre-heating cycles, sales forecasts, and intelligent operating aids—for fresh goods, less food waste, and reduced workload for staff.
"Efficiency, freshness, and employee relaxation at a glance"
The Shop-IQ module "Process" rethinks baking processes in stores – with a smart, AI-supported process management system for fresh baked goods according to plan. It automatically defines baking schedules based on minimum stock levels, expected sales, and sales data – and controls ovens and production orders accordingly.
This ensures that exactly the right amount is baked fresh – at the right time, in the right place. Freshness and availability increase, while returns decrease significantly – especially for snacks and baked goods. The module uses AI to process sales history, current sales, day of the week, and even weather data – and use this information to determine the ideal time for baking. This reduces the time spent on display, minimizes food waste, and lowers energy consumption.
Automatic oven control (heating up, standby) efficiently avoids idle times – enabling energy savings of up to 50% per store.& nbsp;
A tablet provides sales staff with prioritized task lists – the system guides them step by step through production and oven use, which is particularly helpful when there is a shortage of staff and when training new employees.
Product stocks, product age, and sales trends can be viewed across all branches—potential production problems are identified early on and can be responded to promptly.
The module is also compatible with coffee machines—baristas also benefit from controlled processes.& nbsp;
With subsidy programs (e.g., based on CO₂ savings), the investment often pays for itself in the first year – with savings of up to €4,000 per store possible.
