The EHI Tech Days 2025 in Bonn were a great success: with the talk “From Markdowns to Margins – How AI Makes the In-Store Bakery More Profitable,” we convinced the audience and won first place in the start-up competition for AIPERIA!
The EHI Tech Days are among the most important conferences for retail technologies in the DACH market and took place on 4–5 November 2025 in Bonn. The start-up competition “Ignite techdays” is a short, high-visibility pitch format in which the audience votes live to choose the winner. In total, three nominated start-ups presented their solutions for the future of retail. 65% of attendees voted for AIPERIA.
At the heart of the talk was our intelligent in-store assistant, an optional add-on module that supports staff directly on the shop floor. The AI analyses demand in real time and plans precisely which bakery items the store needs now and in the coming hours. This keeps shelves freshly stocked while consigning excess production to the past. In addition, the system calculates optimal baking schedules based on the ovens available and the baking programmes in use – ensuring freshness, availability and efficiency work hand in hand. The goal: “Only bake what will actually be sold.”
A big thank-you to the audience at the EHI Tech Days, to the organisers, and to all partners and customers who share our vision.
