National rollout of electronic shelf labels

Grocery retailRomaniaSmart Retail Operation

Project context

A national network of more than 460 grocery stores is modernising shelf prices and product information through electronic shelf labels (ESL). The project aims to standardise commercial information and introduce one solution across the network.

The challenge

Coordinating work across many locations requires consistent installation and correct matching of labels to products while maintaining normal store operations.

Our approach

Glove Retail installs electronic shelf labels, associates each ESL with its corresponding product according to local requirements, and coordinates the national rollout.

Implementation and benefits

Planning and preparation are followed by shelf-label installation and product association, then continued deployment to the remaining stores. Since August 2026, 100 stores have been implemented. Rollout continues towards coverage of the full 460+ store network.

The phased process supports modern shelf information, consistent implementation and national standardisation, with scope to extend the solution to remaining stores.
