The agreement follows a challenging pilot where Leroy Merlin looked at the best price/performance ratio over time and compared our solution to our competitors."
Leroy Merlin decided to roll out a mix of economical segment based ESL together with featured graphic E-Paper based labels. By winning this project, Pricer system is the solution of choice for the DIY market in France, which is dominated by Leroy Merlin and Castorama.
