At this week’s Euroshop show in Dusseldorf, electronic shelf label company Pricer announced Pricer Plaza, an architecture and set of services enabling new business models for store digitalisation along with key shelf edge products and partnerships.

The Stockholm-based company announced a management system infrastructure that enables private cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) business models. Based on Pricer’s widely deployed central management software, Pricer Plaza comprises a suite of services that provide management of the in-store infrastructure and services that act as the foundation for store digitalisation functionality such as:

Dynamic price and promotion implementation;
Replenishment;
Shelf imaging and optimisation;
Click-and-collect” services; and
In-store geo-location.
Pricer Plaza also provides a series of APIs and services enabling ecosystem partners to implement additional capabilities. At Euroshop, Pricer is hosting the following demonstrations:
Qopius: AI-powered shelf monitoring software for retailers using images captured by Pricer Shelf Vision.
Whywaste: Tool for expiration date management. Already installed by numerous retailers globally it has effectively decreased their food waste and the associated revenue loss. Further, a solid integration with Pricer’s Instant Flash reduces the time spent on date checking.
Novisign: This provides digital signage and shelf edge display systems integrated with Pricer price and systems management and Pricer Plaza for promotion and customer engagement.
Wasteless: AI-driven dynamic pricing for fresh food that increases revenues and reduces waste using Pricer’s ESL.
QSC: Providing integration with SAP business management systems within a retail environment, QSC brings expertise, insight and experience to retailers and shelf edge computing capabilities.
With the heightened focus on enhanced store efficiency and customer engagement use cases, Pricer is also announcing shelf edge capabilities. The SmartTag product range has received a major line extension with the introduction of the SmartTag Power and Power Plus families. These deliver performance enhancements such as sub-second response time for both display and flash and extended battery capacity giving useable power equivalent to ten and twenty years.

This capability increases the number of updates per day and flash usage that continues to limit traditional radio-based ESLs for in-store process efficiency.

The Pricer Shelf Vision system introduces a range of shelf based visual and other sensor technologies that leverages the Plaza platform, including patented methods that are said to capture shelf data that no other shelf vision system can. For scalability, the system is completely wireless and has the same attachment capabilities as the SmartTag labels allowing low cost deployments in key locations within the store.

This product range enables applications such as automated out-of-stock detection and management, realogram, planogram and merchandising compliance, as well as shelf optimisation.

Finally, Pricer announced a series of additional services to enhance the retail customer and partners experience. From APIs, seamless integration and planning, installation, maintenance and support services, Pricer is providing a complete range of services that reduce the complexity and increase the progress to achieving faster RoI and lower TCO of in-store deployment.
