Fruit and Vegetable Electronic Tags for Supermarkets

At VusionGroup, we strive to create powerful solutions to simplify and automate in-store operations. In the fruit and veg aisle, the perishable nature of the products on display means your labeling strategy needs to be even more agile. Fruit and vegetable electronic tags can be a powerful part of product management, marketing, pricing automation, and waste reduction strategies.

What Are Fruit and Vegetable Electronic Tags?

Produce sections in supermarkets are required to display mandatory regulatory information. From the product description to the item’s price per unit of measurement, the variety, the country of origin, and more, clear labeling is the only way to ensure shoppers understand exactly what is on display.

Fruit and vegetable electronic tags are a much more advanced version of the printed produce price tags grocery retailers have come to rely on. Instead of having to physically swap labels out anytime the information needs to be updated, you can use a fruit and vegetable digital price display to edit the description on the fly or set up automatic updates using the VusionCloud solution.

How do Digital Produce Price Tags Work?

ESL price tags –  or Electronic Shelf Labels – can update thousands of displays automatically across numerous channels.

The solution requires the installation of a network of digital produce price tags connected to a remote server (or the VusionCloud Retail IoT Platform). Instead of deploying staff to replace paper labels constantly, price automation provides real-time pricing agility. It does away with the manual process, manages label changes remotely, and even automates updates.

With just a few clicks, fruit and vegetable electronic tags display up-to-date pricing information, inform shoppers about promotions, indicate whether an item is reduced as its expiry date approaches, and more.

What Are the Benefits of Using Digital Tags in the Produce Industry?

ESL technology provides new ways of optimizing the logistics of your produce aisles. With improved access to traceability, quality, freshness, and pricing data, a digital display system offers concrete benefits that all contribute to higher customer satisfaction.

Content-rich fruit and vegetable electronic tags also deliver an enhanced in-store shopping experience, bolstered further by customer activations and fast check-outs.

Real-Time Cloud Management Through the VUSIONCloud IoT Platform

Food retail is a fast-paced environment.

Pricing Automation/Intelligence

Using the VusionCloud solution to manage fruit and vegetable electronic tags allows retailers to fully leverage this fixture by automating low-value-added tasks, enabling dynamic pricing actions, and eliminating pricing errors up to -100%. In turn, this will improve price image, minimize customer complaints and government fines, and boost sales and margins through seamless omnichannel synchronization.

Product Geolocation and Real-Time Planogram Management

The VusionGroup Shelf solution makes it possible to geolocate products within the store, helping retailers achieve better in-store picking productivity (+30%) and fewer missing products (-50%). The OptiPick feature helps store assistants prepare orders 20% to 30% faster than without digital price displays (optimized picking and replenishment).

In-Store Digital Services

Digital price tags provide solid foundations for modern experiential shopping and future services based on local needs, technological trends, and operations requirements. From the produce section all the way to pharmacy shelf labels, NFC and QR technologies integrated with ESLs elevate the customer experience through customized advice delivered via the shoppers’ smartphones.

Digital Advertising and Promotions

Coupled with digital tags, the V:Motion functionality invites rich content displays into the shopping experience. This gives customers access to the same level of information as they would online while enjoying in-person shopping and benefiting from real-time in-store marketing campaigns.

Anti-Theft and Anti-Fall System

The Easylock Anti-Theft system allows retailers to enjoy fixed digital price tags to match their merchandising plans perfectly and guarantee optimal ROIs.
