What ShelfLife Does

A focused tool for managing expiration dates and stock on the floor.

  • Expiration tracking

    Record sell-by, use-by, and pull dates for each product and batch.

  • Advance notice

    Get notified before items expire, with timing set per department.

  • Inventory visibility

    See current stock, status, and what needs attention across the store.

  • Removal logging

    Keep a record of what was pulled, when, and why — for shrink reporting.

Built for Food Retail

Designed for the people running the floor and the back office.

ShelfLife is built for businesses where perishable inventory is critical to daily operations.

  • Independent grocery stores
  • Specialty food retailers
  • Cheese, deli, and bakery departments
  • Multi-department operations

Why ShelfLife

Practical, focused, and built for the way food retail actually runs.

Built specifically for food retail

Not a general-purpose inventory app retrofitted for grocery. ShelfLife is designed around how perishable departments actually work.

Mobile-first, made for the floor

Employees can use ShelfLife on any phone. No new hardware, no specialized scanners.

Direct partnership

We work directly with the businesses using ShelfLife. Feedback shapes the product.
