SOLUM Teams up with Toshiba to Implement Newton in Carrefour City

The partnership, which started early this year, is considered by SOLUM as one of its most strategic achievements in 2020 as they regard Toshiba for its commitment to establishing long-term relationships with its partners.

With this shared vision and combined resources and innovation, SOLUM is steadfast in its mission of bringing the most advanced ESL to the market, one retail business at a time.

Teaming up with Toshiba, SOLUM offered Mr. Koskas, franchise owner of Carrefour City, the best-in-class retail solutions to complement his newly-revamped store in the heart of Paris. The offer consisted of SOLUM’s latest and most advanced ESL – the Newton – in 1.6″, 2.2″, and 4.2″ sizes, and Toshiba’s mapping, software integration, installation and maintenance services.

Both Toshiba and Carrefour City franchise owner Mr. Koskas believe that SOLUM offers the best edge in the market due to the flexibility, good customer service, and last but not the least – the innovative solutions it provides.

With the all-new Newton digital label being applied across all sections of the store, the massive improvements that SOLUM shelf labels’ deliver is too significant not to notice. Newton’s update speed meant that this newly-revamped Carrefour City store could change the product prices across their stores at a much faster rate, allowing them to develop a more sophisticated dynamic pricing strategy that helps them stay competitive within their market vicinity.

In the near future, Mr. Koskas can also leverage Newton’s two interactive buttons to help their store staff become more productive and efficient. With the buttons and LED blinking features of Newton, the staff can replenish shelves that are near to go out of stock with less effort. 

With the same features, the shoppers will also be able have a more engaging shopping experience than ever before. Once the buttons are programmed, the customers can quickly push the buttons, call for service help, or report an out of stock item back to the store’s warehouse. The blinking LEDs and high-resolution display of Newton will also prove viital to enticing them to buy products that are on sale or special discount.
