“The Martee product supported us to grow availability of our fresh products on shelf while managing our wastage as well, if not better. As a business, our daily planning is now less reliant on a small number of individuals’ experience and my in-store managers and teams have gained back valuable time by using the Martee tool.”Mark Lilley, Founder and CEO, Abokado

Where Martee AI began
The original Martee AI concept came about when founders Harry and Lucy were running “Martee’s”, a food-to-go retail business they set up in 2023. Committed to filling their stores with quality fresh food, they faced persistent food waste alongside poor availability, and couldn’t find a predictive tool sensitive enough to food-to-go products. So they built one themselves, and used their original forecasting prototype to fix Martee’s waste and availability problem.
