Trust and Gander set to unveil new partnership at Retail Technology Show 2025 in London next month

Trust and Gander are unveiling a partnership that they say is set to transform inventory management and markdown processes in grocery and convenience retail. Presented at Retail Technology Show 2025, this collaboration integrates Gander’s markdown solution with Trust’s inventory management and EPoS systems.

Trust’s inventory management tool will log price reductions in real-time, syncing directly with the company's EPoS system and Gander’s markdown platform. Once a reduced item is sold via the EPoS, it will be automatically removed from the inventory list and Gander’s marketing channels.

Mike Dotson, Managing Director at Trust Retail, comments: “We are thrilled to showcase this strategic partnership at Retail Technology Show, demonstrating how collaborative innovation in FinTech and retail technology can deliver meaningful efficiencies for grocery and convenience retailers. By integrating cutting-edge payment, inventory, and markdown solutions, we continue to drive transformation in the retail space.”

Stacey Williams, Business Development Director at Gander, says: “Our partnership with Trust at RTS 2025 exemplifies how technology can optimise markdown management while driving sustainability. By leveraging digital platforms, we ensure retailers maximise their margins while reducing food waste, enhancing customer engagement, and streamlining store operations.”

Visit Trust and Gander at stand A48 at Retail Technology Show from 2nd-3rd April at ExCeL Centre, London.

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

The awards. which will open for entries in March, 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.
