Canadian supermarket chain Sobeys expands its Pricer Plaza installation
After a successful first wave of 50 stores, Sobeys takes the next step and enters into an agreement with Pricer’s partner, JRTech Solutions, for an expected deployment of 5 million electronic shelf labels across Canada at an expected order value of 485 MSEK.
The initial order from Sobeys for deployment of ESLs in 50 of its stores, that was communicated in June 2024 as an order from a large Tier 1 North American grocery retailer, was the first large-scale full-store deployment of four-color labels in North America.
Sobeys is one of the largest grocery chains in North America with over 1500 grocery and pharmacy stores.
The rollout of Pricer’s in-store automation and communication solution, consisting of the cloud-based platform Pricer Plaza and electronic shelf labels, is expected to be completed by April 30th, 2026.
“After one year of thorough testing with a pilot installation and the first wave of successful deployments in 50 stores, we can clearly see how our in-store solution supports this leading retailer in digitizing and transforming their operations while enhancing their focus on customer experience,” says Mats Arnehall, Chief Commercial Officer at Pricer.
The expected order value of approximately 485 MSEK does not include Pricer Plaza and technical support, and will be included in Pricer’s order intake for the fourth quarter of 2024.
