In other inventory-related technology deployments, Hy-Vee also recently implemented the VusionGroup platform to digitalize shelf tags at more than 230 of its stores. These stores are now able to update product prices and data automatically, streamlining the previous labor-intensive process of printing and hanging paper price tags.

Hy-Vee is also improving the throughput of goods in its supply chain as the retailer has been expanding its ability to offer digital pickup and delivery services, including partnerships with Instacart and DoorDash and the integration of food tech SaaS company Deliverect into each of the Grille Express stations in its Fast and Fresh Market convenience banner.
"Hy-Vee’s successful deployment of our comprehensive supply chain solutions underscores the power of a unified system," said Stewart Gantt, executive VP of professional services at Manhattan. "By automating both planning and execution, Hy-Vee has achieved remarkable efficiency gains and improved service levels, setting a new benchmark for supply chain excellence."
