Digital shelf tags and multiple VusionGroup
solutions are helping the retailer address the ever-increasing
consumer demands in a complex environment
Hy-Vee, an employee-owned company operating more than 570
business units across nine Midwestern states with sales of more
than $13 billion annually, has implemented a series of digital
solutions from VusionGroup to help streamline the shopping
experience for its customers.
Hy-Vee is using the VusionGroup platform to digitalize more than
230 of its stores, which are now able to update product prices and
data automatically, rather than the labor-intensive process of
printing and hanging paper price tags. The technology allows Hy-Vee
to update prices and product information in real-time.
Additionally, the digital shelf tags allow Hy-Vee employees to
focus on other tasks such as replenishment, merchandising, and most
importantly customer service.
Beyond the pricing automation benefits from the VusionGroup
platform, Hy-Vee will also be able to leverage other solutions
designed by VusionGroup to enable a better, more sustainable
retailing model:
- Intra-day promotions to reduce waste on perishable
items, by leveraging the electronic shelf labels deployed in
stores and the VusionCloud platform to lower prices automatically.
Products with a shorter shelf life can quickly be marked down to
further reduce food waste.
- In-store fulfillment, through the flashing LEDs on each
electronic shelf label that help guide employees during their order
preparation process. Through this capability, Hy-Vee can increase
the productivity when fulfilling online orders.
Hy-Vee automatically connects VusionGroup IoT to existing
wireless access points, eliminating the need for additional
hardware in the store which dramatically reduces the carbon
footprint and operational costs associated with the deployment of
the solution.
“Partnering with VusionGroup helps us streamline multiple
operations in our stores, and makes the labeling process
significantly better for both our customers and our employees,”
said Brian Young, Senior Vice President and Chief Information
Officer of Hy-Vee. “The ease of use of the technology, coupled
with the sustainability benefits we’ve realized, make VusionGroup’s
tools a winning solution for us.”
“The digitalization of its stores enables Hy-Vee to create a
richer experience for employees and shoppers, led by human-first
innovation. Through automation, the retailer has more time to
connect with today’s consumer where and when they need it. As
physical commerce is evolving rapidly, VusionGroup’s mission is to
help retailers such as Hy-Vee to thrive and achieve their digital
transformation,” concluded Philippe Bottine, CEO North America
and Group Deputy CEO for VusionGroup.
