CEPSA Spain rolls out Pricer ESL with an order for SEK 5M
CEPSA Spain has placed on order for 100 Pricer Electronic Shelf Label
installations that will be installed by IBM Spain. The stores operate under the
“PROMIMER” banner. The installations would start in Q2 and involve 20 stores in
2007, and would continue through 2009. The total value of the 
project for Pricer is estimated at approximately SEK 5M. 
“We are excited by this new project” says Oron Branitzky, Area Manager Southern
Europe. “CEPSA is the first operator of convenience stores (small store format
adjacent to gas stations) that recognized the benefits of ESL and is rolling out
our system on a large scale. There are over 1700 service stations under the
CEPSA holding and we believe that the project will be expanded to many of them.
Furthermore, the convenience store market is only at the beginning of store
automation technologies such as ESL and we know it is significant that a leading
retailer such as CEPSA is a pioneer in this segment.” 
“We have been working on this project with CEPSA for over three years” says Luis
Gutierrez-Jodra, Manager of IBM Retail in Southern Europe. “The ESL project is
another demonstration of IBM's capabilities as a global system integrator and
leading service provider.”
