(AGENPARL) – mar 24 ottobre 2023 Associated Grocers, a leading grocery wholesale company based in Western Canada,
(a division of the Pattison Food Group), and serving an extensive network of
over 650 independent retail locations, has selected Pricer’s partner JRTech
Solutions to supply their members with Pricer’s in-store automation and
communication solution and the latest generation of fully graphic Pricer
electronic shelf labels (ESL).
The first complete grocery store installation of the newest range of Pricer
electronic shelf labels, SmartTAG Color, with advanced Black, Red, White, and
Yellow color display capabilities, took place at Liberty Foods in Fruitvale,
British Columbia. This milestone represents the first grocery store in Canada to
employ four-color electronic shelf labels.
“Historically, altering paper labels in our stores required a substantial
investment of our employees’ time. In our quest for more efficient operations,
we’ve been actively exploring digital solutions to manage price changes, track
inventory, and restock products quicker, allowing our employees to focus more on
what truly matters-assisting our customers. JRTech Solutions and our new Pricer
smart labels enable us to achieve precisely that objective,” mentions Derrick
Dar, Managing Director of Liberty Foods. “The addition of the color yellow to
our digital tags allows our promotions to clearly stand out, making it the ideal
choice for us and our customers.”
Brody Powell, General Manager of Wholesale Associated Grocers – Division of the
Pattison Food Group, expressed the selection of JRTech Solutions after a
comprehensive evaluation of ESL solutions and providers. He emphasizes, “JRTech
stands out from other providers, boasting an impressive fifteen-year track
record with their Pricer electronic shelf label solutions. Their profound
industry expertise and extensive installation base across various verticals have
clearly set them apart. Furthermore, JRTech Solutions Digital Smart Label System
seamlessly integrates with the point-of-sale systems used by our member stores.”
“We are proud to be partnering with the AG Group to help streamline store
processes and create added value for their brand and their members. While our
system has been installed in hundreds of grocery stores across Canada since
2009, this agreement is a significant step forward in the adoption of our black,
white, red and yellow smart labels. It also widens our footprint in Western
Canadian grocery, once again solidifying JRTech’s position as the preeminent
provider of ESLs in North Amercia,” says Diego Mazzone, President and CEO of
JRTech Solutions.
“This agreement is of significant value for our North American food market
position as major retailers move to new in-store automation and communication
solutions as an important step on their digitalization journey”, says Charles
Jackson, Head of the Americas, Pricer. “Additionally, Associated Grocer’s are
the first grocery stores in Canada to install the new four-color electronic
shelf labels. Their choice of four-color labels also confirms that the huge
interest we have seen in these new labels is materializing into real
installations.”
The agreement contains no commitments with regard to volumes or amounts.
