Soriana signs a new contract with Pricer for additional 150 stores
Mexico’s second largest retailer, Soriana, has signed an additional contract for the installation of 150 stores with Pricer electronic shelf labels to be delivered during 2011 and 2012. The value of the contract is estimated at SEK 50M. Installations have started and more than half of the project is expected to be completed this year.
“We are very proud of signing the new deal with Soriana”, says Fredrik Berglund, CEO of Pricer. “We were given the opportunity at the end of 2009 to install our solution in the first stores after Soriana tried another vendor, and the additional new contract is proof of the level of satisfaction and trust the customer has with Pricer.”
Soriana has already installed Pricer’s solution in about 100 stores and is using ESL both to ensure price integrity and to improve the stores’ daily operations and procedures. The scalability of the Pricer ESL solution enables the group to install the system in various store formats, from convenience stores to hypermarkets.
