Jumbo

Dutch retailer Jumbo introduces Streaem's self-service platform, expanding its retail media offering for brand producers.

Retailer Jumbo announces that it will use electronic price labels (ESLs) from Hanshow in all its about 700 stores in the future. The second largest supermarket chain in the Netherlands, which also operates stores in Belgium, will then have a total volume of over 11 million labels. Currently, the retail company is already using ESLs in 250 stores.

Danish Salling Group is testing digital shopping trolleys from the New Zealand start-up Imagr in five stores of its discount banner operation Netto. The retail company is the first in Europe which uses the solution of this provider. The vision recognition-based identification of the products is linked in real time with shoppers’ smartphones.

Dutch grocery retailer Jumbo is developing a new distribution centre for fresh foods at its Nieuwegein site with automation technology from Witron. The facility is scheduled to start operations in early 2024.

Retail companies aim to test innovations faster in unvarnished real-world use. What they expect from their core technology suppliers is: more openness. Preferably in the style of Apple and Google's app policy, they should enable start-ups to develop on their platforms and provide add-ons. A wish that does not go unheard.

Jumbo is testing acceptance and sensible usecases of smart shopping trolleys. At Jumbo food market in Veghel, the Dutch retailer is piloting a Shop & Go solution of Israeli start-up Walkout.
