SOLUM lands ESLs deals in Australia as it connects with Bing Lee and The Natural Grocery Company
SOLUM is expanding its electronic shelf label (ESL) business across Australia through new deployments with a consumer electronics retailer and grocery specialist. SOLUM is supporting the expansion of ESL deployments across multiple Bing Lee stores as part of the retailer's ongoing digital transformation initiatives.
In addition, it has supplied ESL solutions to The Natural Grocery Company, enabling real-time price updates, faster promotional changes, and improved pricing accuracy.
"Through our partnership with Bing Lee, we are proud to contribute to the retailer's store modernisation efforts," says Paul Kyriakos, General Manager at SOLUM Australia. "For The Natural Grocery Company, our ESL solution supports real-time pricing, rapid promotional updates, and greater pricing accuracy. A premium shopping experience is built not only on product quality, but also on a store environment that responds quickly and accurately to both retailer and customer needs."
So hot right now
SOLUM 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…
