Grocery tech provider StrongPoint boosts EKO tie up with ShopFlow Logistics deal
StrongPoint has expanded its collaboration with Swedish retailer, EKO, which has chosen the ShopFlow Logistics cloud-based solution to be rolled out in its stores. This will be deployed in all 16 EKO hyper markets during 2026.
ShopFlow Logistics is used for logistics management, offering control over inventory, stocktaking, orders, goods reception, stock adjustments, waste, and breakage etc. With real-time updates, EKO can provide its customers accurate stock availability for online orders.
“After a thorough market evaluation, we selected StrongPoint as our supplier to ensure a reliable, secure, and efficient solution that fits our store concept. StrongPoint’s ShopFlow Logistics is the best solution on the market, which made it an easy choice for us,” says Fredrik Franzén, IT Chef at EKO.
“We are very pleased that EKO has chosen to extend the partnership, from including CashGuard to now also including ShopFlow Logistics, with us through this project,” says Magnus Rosén, Managing Director and SVP StrongPoint Nordics.
“With our expertise and 40 years of experience, we see ourselves as an extension of the customer team, allowing us to act proactively. With ShopFlow Logistics, EKO gets many functions in one solution to manage its store logistics, something our competitors do not offer to the same extent.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
In-store technology was a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.
We received a record number of entries and many fantastic examples of the continued resilience and dynamism of the retail space during hugely challenging times.
For a full rundown of all of the shortlisted entries, click here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC in Central London on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
