Partnering with Whole Foods on Technology Consolidation I recently visited Whole Foods to support their efforts in consolidating their technology platform even further in 2025. This initiative will accelerate their Asset Protection (AP) program, driving greater efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing real-time visibility to a greater number of stakeholders holders. With these technologies being streamlined, Whole Foods will be better positioned for 2025, unlocking new growth opportunities through smarter data insights and improved ORC tools. Excited to see the impact as these efforts come to life! Special shout out to Mike Limauro, LPC , Rob Wynn and the entire Wholefoods AP team for making this possible. #AffordableIntegratedAiTechnologies #AssetProtection #Innovation #i3International
