Carrefour, the second largest retailer worldwide, has chosen Pricer for upgrading the Electronic Shelf Labels in its hypermarkets. Pricer’s new Continuum labels will replace the previous generation labels that are installed in 194 hypermarkets in France. First 12 to 17 hypermarkets will be installed this year. Carrefour also indicated that the rest of the stores are planned to be installed until 2013. Pricer estimates that the total value of the ESL replacement at Carrefour hypermarkets is close to 300 MSEK.
“Following an extensive evaluation process of ESL benefits as well as comprehensive comparison with other solutions, Carrefour’s decision is the best proof to the significant role of ESL in today’s competitive retail environment” says Fredrik Berglund, Pricer’s CEO. “Carrefour started the deployment of ESL in 2004 and since then, ESL has become a mandatory tool for Carrefour in implementing Dynamic Pricing strategies and optimizing store operations. This is the most significant ESL project of any retailer and we are proud to be the ones chosen for the implementation.”
