Smart Fridge for Farm Shops: Regional Quality Presented with Style

Shopping at the Livello Smart Fridge is simple and follows the familiar process of using a traditional fridge. Customers open the Smart Fridge, view the available range and select the farm produce they wish to purchase. The system automatically recognises which items have been selected. The purchase is then settled via the linked payment method. This means sales can take place even when there are no staff present at the farm shop. As a result, regional produce can be offered in the evenings, at weekends and outside regular opening hours. The intuitive operation reduces hesitation and can encourage spontaneous purchasing decisions.

The Livello Smart Fridge helps farm shops to reliably refrigerate perishable foodstuffs and to document key operational data. The temperature is continuously monitored and digitally recorded. Those responsible can view temperature trends via the Livello Cloud and use them for internal quality control. Information on allergens, ingredients, nutritional values and origin can be digitally assigned to the relevant product and displayed on the screen. This facilitates transparent food labelling and compliance with the relevant requirements of the Food Information Regulation (FID). Specific compliance with all legal requirements depends on the product range on offer, the responsibilities involved and the particular business model. Livello supports you in clearly mapping out the technical and organisational foundations.

Restocking can be carried out directly by the farm, the farm shop team or an agreed service partner. Via the Livello Cloud, you can see which products have been sold and which stock levels need topping up. This helps to reduce unnecessary checks and allows for more targeted planning of the supply of goods. Prices, product names, tax rates and other product data can be managed centrally. Seasonal offers such as strawberries or asparagus can be quickly added or replaced. Livello supports you throughout the set-up process and is on hand to answer any technical or operational queries. This ensures that automated sales remain straightforward and can be seamlessly integrated into your farm’s existing processes.

To operate, the Livello Smart Fridge requires a suitable location, a power supply and a stable internet connection. The unit is supplied ready to plug in and can be integrated into existing farm shops or separate self-service areas. Suitable locations include, for example, the sales area, a covered outdoor area or an easily accessible sales point on the farm. When positioning the unit, consideration should be given to accessibility, protection from the weather, walkways and the desired opening hours. Inventory levels, sales figures, temperatures and device data are transmitted to the Livello Cloud via the internet connection. Multiple Smart Fridges at different locations can also be managed centrally. We will work with you to determine which setup best suits your product range, your customer base and your operational processes.
