EM Expiration Date Management, known to many retailers as EM Date Check, is a cloud-based date checking and food waste management solution for fresh food retailers. It tracks expiry dates across your inventory, reports products approaching their use-by dates, alerts your team early, and turns close-to-date stock into strategic markdowns instead of waste. It all runs inside EM Cloud™, synced to EM POS™, EM Omnia, your scales, labels and ESLs.
Simplified, automated date checking that pays for itself in saved stock.
Easily find products nearing their expiration dates. The system identifies items approaching their use-by dates with ample time to implement strategic markdowns or discount promotions.
Stay ahead with alerts via daily reports or directly on the EM Omnia PDE, so your team can act before stock expires.
Run date checks from the Date Check app on EM Omnia. Walk the aisle, scan, and the system does the rest. No more manual date-checking rounds.
2D barcode and GS1 DataMatrix functionality lets you change prices, print REDUCED labels and apply them on the spot via EM Omnia and a markdown printer.
EM POS™ automatically prevents transactions for products past their use-by date, protecting food safety in-store and for your customers.
Integrated EM ESL gives flashing visual cues for expiry-date tracking and picking, with price changes and markdowns pushed instantly.
Record waste and dump stock on EM Omnia and see it all in EM Cloud™ reporting, so you know exactly what is being written off and why. Waste management with numbers behind it.
Detailed reports show expiration dates in advance, giving you the insight to make data-driven markdown decisions and stop waste.
Scan a close-to-date item on EM Omnia, reprice it, print the markdown label and apply it before you’ve left the aisle. Rule-based markdown formulations mean the discount is consistent every time, and every markdown flows straight back into EM Cloud™ reporting. Your scales and labelling devices stay in sync automatically, so price integrity holds across the whole store.
One price file, one login. Date checking connects to every device in the store.
Our payoff line isn’t marketing spin. GaP Solutions’ software was built by people who owned and managed supermarkets. They walked the floor, and they understand what fresh food waste costs the independent retailer.
We create, build and adjust the software around what our customers need.
An Australian help desk and around-the-clock technical support from our Adelaide-based team.
In-person training from people who know both the software and the shop floor.
