5.6 Results in the Icelandic context

Digital solutions are already delivering tangible results in Iceland. In school canteens, food waste decreased by 15.3% in the first six months after automated sensor systems were installed.

At the same time, Kaffi Gosi reported a 4.7% increase in contribution margin following the implementation of POS-linked inventory management. Food waste fell from 20% to 12% and average days of inventory on hand decreased. The figures confirm that the integration of smart systems and artificial intelligence has direct, positive effects on financial performance and environmental targets.
