Canada’s largest home retailer Leon’s Furniture expands roll-out of VUSION with SES-imagotag

SES-imagotag is expanding its partnership with Canadian retailer Leon’s Furniture (LFL Group).

The roll-out agreement between the two companies will see the addition of 130 stores to existing locations, while also expanding to new store categories as SES-imagotag further extends its footprint in new verticals and in North America.

LFL Group selected the VUSION IoT Cloud platform and digital tags to digitise its Leon’s and The Brick division stores under a multi-year framework agreement spanning, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

This agreement covers the deployment of VUSION across all of its 202 corporate stores, and potentially over 100 other additional LFL Group franchisees.

The retailer has been gradually equipping its appliances, consumer electronics, and bedding sections with VUSION cloud connected ESLs and solutions, and is now extending the use of these tools to the largest portion of its stores - the furniture sections - with extensive use of large format digital labels.

Mike Walsh, President and CEO at LFL Group, comments: “As Canada’s largest home retailer, we focus on continuously enhancing our customer experience. Innovation within our network of stores and e-commerce platforms is paramount in providing a seamless omnichannel experience to our customers and retail teams.”

“SES-imagotag technology has been an important partner to assist in automating our pricing and promotion strategies, accompanied by reducing order entry times, enabling our associates to provide a heightened retail shopping experience.”

Philippe Bottine, CEO North America at SES-imagotag, says: “We are delighted to partner with LFL Group and their different banners to help them in their digital transformation. We look forward to pursuing our partnership to transform their physical stores into sustainable digital assets.”

“This win and successful expansion is also another sign of the fast growth we are experiencing in North America across all retail verticals, and a great testament to the expertise and dedication of our local passionate team.”
