Scotmid Co-op

Waitrose is currently rolling out electronic shelf labels from the Korean supplier SoluM. The British supermarket operator of the John Lewis Partnership has now equipped more than 200 of its about 420 stores with the technology.

Slowly but surely, electronic shelf labels (ESL) are also becoming widespread in the United Kingdom. With Lincolnshire Co-op, another regional retail company has now decided to equip 100 stores with digital labels by the end of the year.

British Co-operative Group is replacing paper with electronic shelf labels (ESLs) from VusionGroup in all of its 2,400 stores across the UK. This marks the largest rollout of ESLs by a single retailer in the UK and Ireland.

The leading British retailer has been exploring electronic shelf labels for decades. But now Tesco is apparently really getting serious. In a proof-of-concept in selected Tesco Extra superstores and Tesco Express convenience stores with labels from VusionGroup and Hanshow, the company is evaluating their use.

Scottish retail co-operative Scotmid has extended its contract with Retail Insight to use its cloud-based WasteInsight software to reduce food waste in its 185 convenience stores.
