Australian consumer electronics retailer JB Hi-Fi taps Vusion digital shelf-edge tech across its stores
Vusion has announced a new roll-out initiative at Australian retailer JB Hi-Fi’s stores. Under the agreement, JB Hi-Fi plans to deploy Vusion’s digital shelf-edge technology in Australia following a pilot phase, as well as a full roll-out across its New Zealand store network.
“We are focused on innovation that delivers efficiencies to our store operations and supports our teams in serving customers,” says Cameron Trainor, MD at JB Hi-Fi Australia. “Our collaboration with Vusion gives us a scalable technology platform to support store teams, strengthen execution and advance the next phase of our strategy.”
“We are very proud to support JB Hi-Fi as it takes this important step toward a more connected store network,” says Pierre Demoures, SEVP & COO at Vusion. “Australia is a key market for Vusion and JB Hi-Fi is one of the region’s most distinctive retailers. This agreement shows how connected store infrastructure can help leading retailers modernise operations while preserving the store experience that makes them unique.”
Through Vusion’s native integration with Cisco Meraki, JB Hi-Fi will connect the former’s platform to the wireless infrastructure already deployed in its stores, with a view to reducing additional infrastructure requirements while simplifying roll-out and helping limit both operational costs and the environmental footprint of the deployment.
So hot right now
Vusion is included in RTIH’s first ever Retail Technology Hot 100 List. Launching in August, this sees us bringing you the hottest companies whose solutions and systems are helping drive the retail sector forward.
Our Founder and Editor, Scott Thompson, drew up a list of 150 companies that had consistently been on his radar over the past 12 months whilst bringing our community the latest retail tech news and views that matter. These companies operate across the omnichannel retail landscape (stores, online, mobile, supply chain, payments etc).
Our judging panel, including Vineta Bajaj, Group CFO, Holland & Barrett, Dan McGrath, JD Group Customer Operations, JD Sports, Dr. Astha Purohit, Director of Product Management, Customer Data and Identity, Walmart, and Paula Bobbett, Chief Data and Digital Officer, Boots, provided feedback on those who have the most innovative, forward thinking technology offerings and are also best addressing retailers' current challenges, painpoints, and opportunities.
The judges used the following framework when making their picks:
1. Retailer problem fit - how meaningful, strategic, and widely felt the retailer pain being addressed is.
2. Production traction in retail (2025–2026) - real named retailer deployments, pilots.
3. Innovation and defensibility - genuine technical novelty paired with a defensible competitive position.
And there was also a public vote, with thousands of members of our community of retail tech enthusiasts getting involved. Thanks to all those who took part! Based on the judging panel's feedback and the public vote, we then drew up our first ever RTIH Retail Technology Hot 100.
So, without further ado, here are the 100 hottest global retail technology ventures right now. Drum roll, please…
