    For Shelf Engine, a 40-person startup founded in 2015 that uses artificial intelligence to help grocery stores reduce food waste [CITATION NEEDED!!! CITATION NEEDED!!!], this was a major problem.

    Wow using data analytics to reduce shrink in a retail setting *slaps forehead* why didn't i think of that?

      Large grocers do outsource this stuff a lot of the time, and yeah it isn't revolutionary or novel. At best it's just a bandage on the inefficiencies of markets.
