Northfork expands into CPG space with Schweid & Sons partnership to power shoppable recipes

Northfork has announced a partnership with Schweid and Sons, an American purveyor of ground beef.

Northfork will serve as Schweid & Sons’ recipe shopping provider, making all recipes on its website shoppable and driving traffic directly to retailers such as Kroger and Instacart.

Schweid & Sons will now allow users to explore all of their recipes online and add all the ingredients directly to their shopping cart.

Northfork provides shoppable links that could be used on social media and links to Schweid & Sons’ recipes, allowing customers to instantly add all ingredients to their shopping cart and complete their purchase with a pre-populated cart. Customers can then either check out at Kroger or Instacart.

Northfork sees this deal as its entry into the CPG space, having spent the past few years focusing on onsite recipe shopping solutions for retailers.

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Online retail will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which are now closed for entries with our finalists and shortlists being announced last week, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
