Tyson Foods is reinventing the way the shop online for meat

 

Adapting to the changes following the outbreak of the pandemic can be a real challenge for retailers who are having to introduce innovative solutions to cater to consumers’ demands. That is exactly what Tyson Foods is doing. This firm supplies consumer packaged goods and fresh meat to most of the grocery stores in the US.

Typically, purchasing fresh meat has been considered to be an in-store experience by consumers. They wish to get a close-up look of the piece they want to buy. Thus, the probability of getting this product on the Web is quite low. Indeed, only 30% of consumers advanced that their primary method to buy meat will be online when everything gets back to normal. To address this issue, Tyson Foods is working on creating a digital buying experience to facilitate things for clients. The system being developed will also generate data that will help retailers be informed about their growth strategy.

Tyson Foods has leveraged a proprietary artificial intelligence technology. This has been developed by Vizit, a start-up based in Boston. It will optimise the presentation of its products on the ‘digital shelf’. Thanks to this, the firm will be able to obtain an understanding of the unique wants and needs of online shoppers and their visual shopping preferences. The system identifies and measures what specific components of an image or design will resonate most with clients.
