(Göttingen, 2017-07-03)
The integrator from Göttingen, which realized in 2015 the world’s biggest ESL project, fitting the more than 1,000 stores operated by Media Markt and Saturn across Europe with more than 10 million ESLs, contributes to digitalizing the discount furniture retailer POCO’s point of sale as well.
xplace provided POCO in Böblingen with 10,570 labels. The company took charge of the installation of the labels and of the staff training on site. The labels were provided by SES-imagotag.
“The staff training on site xplace took charge of can secure a trouble-free handling of the labels. Our sales staff is now aware of how to register and update the labels by entering the infrastructure system. They can deal with damaged labels, too. Thanks to the training, we can reach a completely self-controlled price management. In this way, we will give our staff more time to serve customers “, means Sebastian Schrader, Head of the Organization Department at POCO.
Electronic shelf labels are the quickest and simplest way of marking prices. Previously, whenever prices changed, a price label had to be printed out for each product, cut to size and mounted in a very time-consuming process. With ESLs, prices can be changed directly from the inventory management system. This eliminates the speed advantage which pure play e-retailers have had until now, giving staff more time to serve customers. Moreover, ESLs form the basis for other technologies: In the background, for example, they’re closely linked to the data-driven product range and the supply chain. And in future, customers will be able to access additional product information from ESLs by means of NFC (near-field communication).
