After a successful first wave of 50 stores, Sobeys takes the next step and enters into an agreement with Pricer’s partner, JRTech Solutions, for an expected deployment of 5 million electronic shelf labels across Canada.
MONTRÉAL, Dec. 13, 2024 /CNW/ – The initial order from Sobeys BB #:116615 for deployment of ESLs in 50 of its stores, that was communicated in June 2024 as an order from a large Tier 1 North American grocery retailer, was the first large-scale full-store deployment of four-color labels in North America.
Sobeys is one of the largest grocery chains in North America with over 1500 grocery and pharmacy stores.
The rollout of Pricer’s in-store automation and communication solution, consisting of the cloud-based platform Pricer Plaza and electronic shelf labels, is expected to be completed by April 30th, 2026.
