Case Study

The power of data to bring about positive change.

Bad data, a lack of data, and human error lead to the misclassification and over-classification of products. When given a way to interpret and understand the ingredients and chemistry of products, retail associates and operational teams make better decisions. This helps retailers avoid costly EPA fines and waste handling fees, and optimizes recycling.

How do you help with waste diversion?

We connect product data to relevant regulations and your business’ unique rules, and turn it into easy-to-understand waste handling instructions for your back-of-store associates. We apply regulations for handling Hazardous Waste, custom business rules for recycling and donation, and help you comply with state-specific policies, such as food waste handling requirements.

Can you accommodate custom business rules?

Absolutely! We know there are lots of different ways to handle a specific product’s life cycle. We work with you to set up custom rules that ensure products move through your supply chain efficiently, and determine the best possible end-of-life pathway for non-saleable goods. Whether it’s identifying a more efficient shipping route, a battery recycling program, or a local donation partner, SmarterX handles custom rules with ease.

How can we implement the SmaterX waste diversion solution?

The first step is for suppliers and brands to register their products on our platform. Our self-service portal and onboarding team make it easy. In parallel, we work with you on the implementation of our Back of Store Solution (“BOSS” for short) system with consideration to your existing hardware and tech stack. The BOSS APIs can connect into your existing technology or we can support you with new hardware and software solutions.
