Pricer Europe region head Mats Arnehall said: “Supporting this wholesale customer is proof of the value that our reliable, sustainable and scalable solution adds not only to brick-and-mortar stores targeting consumers but also other types of retailers in terms of optimised store operations.
“This aspect is extremely important, especially considering the scale of this wholesale grocery customer. With the next-generation electronic shelf labels, they will be able to reach even greater time savings and chain efficiency.”
In April this year, retail giant Carrefour selected Pricer as its exclusive supplier of electronic shelf label (ESL) solutions for three years.
Under the contract, the Pricer system was installed and replaced technologies to enhance Carrefour’s store automation and communication solution.
