Castorama will implement from 45,000 to 75,000 ESL per store enabling staff to save time on daily routine and be more available for sales and other value added tasks. Today, Castorama uses four pages on Pricer ESL to display price and product management information such as next delivery dates and stock quantities. “This agreement is a first of its kind and demonstrates how Pricer can help other important retail segments manage and support their core activity – serving customers”, says Charles Jackson, CEO at Pricer. “Castorama is the first major European DIY retailer to trigger a nationwide ESL deployment and we are proud to have secured this significant contract”, M. Jackson adds. Castorama had evaluated three different systems and piloted two over a year ago. After a successful pilot combining segment and graphic displays, Pricer won the next step of implementing a full store pilot in the Paris area with 40,000 ESL. Castorama finally selected Pricer infrared ESL to implement in their 105 stores. “Pricer was able to offer the most scalable two-way ESL solution,” says Philippe Goas, Area Manager Middle Europe at Pricer.” About Castorama and Kingfisher Castorama, French DIY banner founded in 1969, is the 2nd largest DIY retailer in France.
