VusionGroup heads Down Under for electronic shelf labels solution deployment at IGA grocery store

VusionGroup reports installation of its electronic shelf label (ESL) solution for grocery retailer, IGA, with over 8,500 of these deployed across its French's Forest store, located north of Brisbane, Australia.

This automates pricing and promotions across all categories, streamlining operations and giving staff more time to focus on stock management and delivering exceptional customer service.

In a LinkedIn post, John Koy, Senior Account Executive at VusionGroup, said: “What makes this project even more special is that IGA French's Forest reopened on 14th May, just a year after a devastating fire tore through the complex. Store owner Joseph set us the challenge of delivering the entire project in just four weeks - and we’re thrilled to have met that deadline, ensuring the store was ready for the grand re-opening.”

“A big thank you to WorldSmart for their support, to Metcash for their invaluable guidance, Think Retail & Design for their creative work, and to the Strikeforce AMC Team for their excellent support with the installation. Congratulations to Joseph and his team on the re-opening and here’s to a bright future with smarter, more efficient retail.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

ESLs will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
