Kotsovolos Brings Its A-Game to Providing Customer Service by Equipping SOLUM ESL
In less than a year, the largest retail store in Greece recently implemented SOLUM electronic shelf labels as part of an ambitious innovation program, spanning all of their 90+ stores.
To mark its 70th year, Kotsovolos and its parent company, Dixons Carphone, have finally made a move to apply electronic shelf labels in their stores, choosing SOLUM as their trusted partner in this integral part of their digital transformation.
In less than a year, the largest retail store in Greece recently implemented SOLUM electronic shelf labels as part of an ambitious innovation program, spanning all of their 90+ stores.
SOLUM's shelf labeling system accelerated Kotsolovos' overall operations, including improving customer service and providing a more convenient customer journey, as well as supplying a more efficient and data-driven practice to replace manual processes, improving productivity by a whopping seven percent.
"Before implementing ESLs, it was a nightmare for our sales associates to change all these price tags. So they are impressed by the time that they save. And what's important is that the time that they save from the price tags, they use it for customer service or merchandising. So, we improve our customer service. And also, what's very important for them is that we improve our productivity. Our early results show a seven percent improvement in our productivity because of that." -Ntouvras, Konstantinos, Area Manager, Dixons Southeast Europe
With this success in their Kotsovolos stores, Dixons now have their sights set to start bringing ESLs to the entire Greek market.
"You will save a lot of money from making employees much more efficient. And at the same time, you will also save money from printing paper. And the third and most important advantage, it provides a very nice customer experience." -Marras, Panos, Commercial Manager, Dixons Southeast Europe
