As temperatures increase in the UK during the summer months, demand for chilled and frozen goods increases. From refreshing beverages to ice creams and BBQ food, consumers expect retailers to provide a seamless shopping experience with well-stocked and well-preserved products. For grocery retailers, ensuring that refrigeration capacity aligns with this seasonal surge is essential for maximising profits and maintaining customer loyalty.
The Challenge of Seasonal Demand Spikes
Many grocery retailers face the challenge of inadequate chilled and frozen storage during peak summer months. Limited refrigeration can lead to stock shortages, missed sales opportunities, and dissatisfied customers. Investing in additional permanent remote refrigeration may not be a cost-effective solution, particularly for seasonal peaks. So, how can retailers efficiently manage this increased demand without overspending on fixed assets?
