First major European DotMatrix™ ESL contract for Pricer and Toshiba TEC as Belgacom reaches for the sky


First major European DotMatrix™ ESL contract for Pricer and Toshiba TEC as
Belgacom reaches for the sky

Belgacom, the main telecommunications company in Belgium, has chosen the new
generation Pricer DotMatrix™ ESL solution for its 90 mobile stores, with Toshiba
TEC ensuring the implementation and support services. The total value of the
order is 6 MSEK.

Belgacom selected the Pricer ESL solution to implement price automation and
centralize the updates of product specifications and shelf locations in the
stores. Other benefits of Pricer ESL are to improve competitive reactivity and
modernize store design. 

“We made a major technology leap here,” said Serge Jaroszewski, Shop Project and
Site Development Manager at Belgacom. “All our Shops receive automatically and
exactly at the same time the correct price information and the correct shelf
location for each product from a single point of contact.”

“We are very pleased with Belgacom's decision to roll out the DotMatrix™
solution in their stores”, says Charles Jackson, CEO at Pricer. “Retail
telephony represents a major opportunity for Pricer and this win further
increases our track record since the beginning of the year to provide the non
food sector with ESL that fit their needs.”

Belgacom calculated that this frees up five man hours per month per shop as well
as eliminates the costly and time-consuming distribution of bi-weekly printed
price labels.

DotMatrix™ label offers full flexibility of display content because it is
embedded with thousands of dots individually controlled by a microprocessor. The
very fine pixilation of those dots translates into a rich, textural display with
extreme detail. This means the screen can now display just about anything, from
brand logos and feature/benefit bullet points to scan able barcodes and time
based promotional messages. The technology also allows retailers to refresh
information on demand without affecting the battery life because the display
does not require energy after being refreshed.

TOSHIBA TEC started the roll out in February and will handle all maintenance and
support for Belgacom's dot matrix ESL technology program.
