“Stores don’t need to survive, they need to thrive! And Kavanagh’s in Belsize Park is the perfect example of a store that is thriving in a community that values this store,” said Roy Horgan, SEVP – Group Strategy, Marketing & Communications at SES-imagotag.

Kavanagh Group opened the UK’s first VUSION 360 store. Leveraging SES-imagotag’s full VUSION Retail IoT Cloud platform, the store benefits from a unique portfolio of retail applications to improve its daily operations – enhancing shopper satisfaction through a 360° view on all store activities and delivering valuable data and feedback on actions in store.
VUSION puts technology at the service of Kavanagh’s Belsize Park to achieve retail excellence and deliver high food quality to its community, with data & digital technologies at the core its operations.
Noel Kavanagh Jnr., owner of the store and Managing Director of Kavanagh Group, commented : “The results don’t lie. As a family business, we’re long time in retail. We’re only scratching the surface. The technology is extremely impressive, and I would recommend it to any fellow retailers.”
Roy Horgan, SEVP – Group Strategy, Marketing & Communications at SES-imagotag, said : “The VUSION 360 store is a combination of all our technologies under one roof, all working in harmony to deliver a more impactful, profitable, sustainable retail store here in the centre of London.”
Mandy Mall, customer : “The Kavanagh experience is fantastic. You’re able to come and have a world class experience with paperless and seeing produce that is available and updated. You never really have empty counter here, and that’s on account of the great technology and the implementation for that technology in the stores.”
