TotalCtrl AS has developed a Food Waste Prevention Software in close collaboration with dedicated and knowledgeable pilot customers within the enterprise segment such as grocery stores, food banks, municipalities and restaurants.
One of our early customers is Handleriet.no. They used TotalCtrl’s solutions to provide their customers with an online grocery store app.
The main challenges were to increase sales, digitize recipes and help customers reduce food waste. We created an online grocery store app making it easy for customers to plan, buy, and use food.
Read on to find out how we helped Handleriet.no:
- Increased sales by 10.28%
- Digitized 4,000 recipes
- Reduced food waste

The software simplified customers’ everyday lives, made it easy for them to reduce food waste and purchase products from Handleriet.no stores.
The app featured:
- Store offers
