The supermarket chain needed to have new shelf labels for all products to coincide with a change to their IT system. The customer needed to ensure that all labels had been changed in all stores and needed the additional resource from RGIS to physically change the labels.
THE CHALLENGE
RGIS provided inventories for 10 years for the supermarket chain, so it was an ideal opportunity to combine services for the shelf label project.
Due to a change in the customer’s IT system, the supermarket chain needed to change the shelf labels in all 800 stores within a set time-frame. The customer needed the following:
- Existing labels to be scanned and logged
- New labels to be printed and replaced with new labels
- Checks to be in place to confirm no old labels were present
