Smartstore and 24/7 supermarket

A smartstore is an innovative retail concept based on the intelligent networking of modern technologies. Systems such as electronic shelf labels (ESL), digital signage displays, sensors, cameras and automated merchandise management systems form the basis for digital retail that is efficient, customer-friendly and available at all times.

Customers enter the smart store via digital access systems or self-checkout solutions – around the clock, even outside regular opening hours. Inside, digital signage, interactive displays and NFC technology provide orientation and a modern shopping experience. Information on products, ingredients, origin or current offers can be accessed directly via the customer's own smartphone – for maximum transparency and convenience.

In the background, centralised, cloud-based software controls all processes. It manages prices, product ranges and stock in real time, automatically recognises reorder requirements and enables retailers to efficiently manage multiple branches.

The result is a seamlessly networked smartstore that combines service, sustainability and efficiency – an automated branch that is leading retail in the United Kingdom and Europe into the future.

• Open 24/7 – increased sales thanks to extended opening hours
• Centralised control – simple branch and price management in real time
• Reduced staffing costs – employees can concentrate on providing advice and service
• High customer convenience – intuitive operation, transparent information, fast processes
• Sustainability – paperless price labelling and resource-saving processes
• Increased customer loyalty through digital services and clarity

Container store
A mobile, fully equipped unit – ideal for use in locations without existing retail buildings, unoccupied sites or as a short-term supply solution, for example in rural areas.

Hybrid solution
Integration into existing retail space – staffed operating hours are reduced and the business continues to run autonomously outside standard opening hours.

Stationary smart store
A fully-fledged, automated retail location with a permanent building – more cost-efficient than conventional branch models while maintaining the same level of service.
