Ida provides a stock-optimization solution for fresh products — from fruits and vegetables to cheese, seafood, charcuterie and butcher items — using AI with around 300 parameters to improve order accuracy and rotation. The company says its customers see a 30% reduction in waste and an 80% decrease in stockouts, which it ties to increased sales and longer product freshness for consumers. Ida aims to cut 2,500 tonnes of fresh-product waste by the end of 2025 and plans a roll-out with a large French retailer in 2024, with ambitions to expand internationally. The startup highlights recruitment and R&D as priorities: it expects to grow from 3 to 10 employees by the end of 2023, double headcount in 2024, and have 80% of its teams focused on R&D. Ida also markets a unit-economics claim that the product returns five to seven times more revenue than its cost.
