The agreement includes that Ishida has placed orders for ESL equipment valued at SEK 40M to be delivered in 2011 – 2012. Additionally, Ishida will pay 50 percent more in unit royalties per installed graphic display. Furthermore, Pricer will waive the remaining SEK 13M in license fees that Ishida was supposed to pay in the beginning of 2011.
“The revised agreement is an effect graphic labels having developed slower than initially anticipated within the Japanese market. However, we have recently seen an increasing demand for ESLs,” says Fredrik Berglund, CEO of Pricer.
Ishida is partner to Pricer in Japan since close to fifteen years and has so far installed Pricer ESLs in over 1,500 stores.
