“Schiever’s decision is a major win for Pricer,” says Fredrik Berglund, CEO at Pricer, “especially when considering that this retailer has installed ESL from another ESL supplier in its 7 hypermarkets. In a competitive French retail environment, Schiever wanted to implement a more aggressive pricing policy,” continues Mr Berglund. “Pricer’s high speed ESL system, based on infrared communication, is seen as the best solution to their needs.” |

Groupe Schiever, a French retail group and affiliate of the Auchan group, has decided to roll out Pricer Electronic Shelf Label in all 74 Atac supermarkets. The first 20 stores will be installed by year end and the rollout will be completed by end 2011. The total contract value is 45 MSEK.
Since 2007, Publix Super Markets has led initiatives to reduce the use of paper and plastic grocery bags used at checkout. The company has emphasized the importance of sustainability by training front service clerks and cashiers to increase the number of items per bag, implementing bag reduction goals for each store, holding communication campaigns to encourage the use of reusable bags and donating reusable bags to non-profits and partner organizations throughout the southeast. Such activities have helped reduce the use of paper and plastic grocery bags by more than one million per day. In September 2010, the number of bags saved since mid 2007 surpassed the 1 billion milestone. 
Store brand products can compete with their name-brand counterparts and save shoppers more than a thousand dollars a year on grocery bills, according to a new study from Consumer Reports. In 21 head-to-head taste match-ups, national brands won seven times, the store brand came out on top in three instances, and the remainder resulted in ties.
