EPoS firm Henderson Technology announces instalment of one million electronic shelf edge labels

Henderson Technology installed its first electronic shelf edge labels (ESEL) into Smyth’s EUROSPAR in Ballymoney in 2019 and five years later the EPoS company has grown this to one million labels in over 220 convenience and forecourt stores, the latest of which being Filco Supermarkets.

The ESELs are integrated into Henderson Technology’s EPoS system, EDGEPoS.

Darren Nickels, Retail Technology Operations Director at Henderson Technology, says: “ESELs are the first step in digitising the in-store shopping experience. This cutting-edge technology not only enhances operational efficiency but also elevates the shopping experience for shoppers.”

“ESELs are playing a crucial role in shaping the future of retail. It allows stores to innovate and adapt to changing consumer needs, whilst at the same time provides customers with a seamless shopping experience.”

“From 2024 we are extending our digital offer to supply digital screens and create digital content for stores.”

“We already manage 600 screens, and we will be extending this out to also include Barista Bar retail customers. The benefit of tying on-shelf and digital screen messaging together allows stores to communicate their offers more accurately.”

Filco Supermarkets Director, Matthew Hunt, says: “Installing ESELs from EDGEPoS has been a real positive influence in our stores. It has been so well-received by all our staff that it’s opened the door for us to embrace additional retail technology.”

“Staff are very happy with their ease of use; making their jobs easier, saving them time and ultimately make the store operationally more efficient.”

“Dynamic pricing gives us the opportunity to set up a flexible pricing strategy for certain products at particular times of day. We are excited to see what the future in retail technology holds.”

EDGEPoS is installed in over 940 sites across the UK and Australia.
