Convenience retailer Scotmid has reached the milestone of having installed its 100,000th electronic shelf label (ESL) installed in its store estate.
The chain highlighted that stores fitted with ESLs have experienced increased efficiency, reduced paper wastage, and improved staff morale.
Allan Robertson, programme manager, Innovation and Change at Scotmid, said: “As a retailer based in the heart of communities we serve, we continually look for innovative solutions which will deliver genuine benefits for our customers as well as our colleagues.
“We’re excited to bring modern electronic labels to present our price and product information more clearly for customers across Scotland. We have rolled out to over 30 stores and will continue that roll out across our food store estate.”
The technology is manufactured by SoluM, a Samsung invested company, with the supply and installation carried out by Cambridge based Technology Integrator Herbert Retail.
The ESL installation programme has been delivered in partnership with the Southern Co-op, which trialled the technology in 12 of its own stores.
