SOLUM Help Xiaomi Stores Overcome Omnichannel Challenges With Newton
A case study shows how effective SOLUM ESL are in enhancing the marketing operations of Balmore Atlantic as Xiaomi’s store expansion partner in Spain.
SOLUM, the global leader in providing electronic shelf label (ESL) solutions, is pleased to announce that its partnership with Xiaomi, in collaboration with ASTS and Balmore Atlantic is a success and has rendered very desirable changes in Xiaomi’s marketing operations.
In December 2020, SOLUM, through ASTS, made a partnership with Xiaomi and Balmore Atlantic to upgrade the shelf labeling system of some of Xiaomi’s major Spanish distribution partners in the Iberian region. The implementation of Newton labels in their stores aided the brand in overcoming the challenges they faced in trying to achieve an omnichannel concept. These challenges include improving their operations and aligning the company’s values with their day-to-day procedures.
With SOLUM’s digital labels, the stores managed to stop their paper consumption, allow their employees to work in a much more efficient way, prevent product information errors and inaccuracy, as well as keep product prices always up-to-date.
Omar Lamarca, Marketing Manager of Balmore Atlantic, expressed how SOLUM’s solution, Aims, made their marketing operations more efficient. “We loaded all our products in an Excel spreadsheet and then synchronized it with the Aims Cloud software, so when we arrived at the store, it was as easy as linking each product with a label. In real-time, the labels were updated.”
Newton is the newest line of electronic shelf labels by SOLUM. It has numerous features that previous digital labels do not have, such as a battery life that can last up to 10 years, the capability to display 7 pages, two programmable buttons, and an update speed that makes it the fastest RF-based ESL in the market.
It is so fast that you can update all 3,000 digital tags within 5 minutes with a single Newton Gateway, each tag taking only 0.1 seconds to update when massive updating—which makes price updates quicker and hassle-free, giving Xiaomi store employees more time to do other important store matters.
