Sanisbury’s improves signage creation

London J. Sainsbury plc is preparing to install the Retail Enterprise Suite, from Episys, Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, to create unified signage across its chain.

The software is integrated with the grocer’s Oracle retail platform that manages the chain’s pricing. The new signage software will pull pricing data from the Oracle technology and electronically generate all labeling, promotional signage and shelf labels.

The centralized signage platform offers better pricing accuracy and will slash the labor needed to create store-level materials. For example, promotional changes used to take up to three days to apply; the new system will enable Sainsbury’s to make changes in less than 24 hours.

The solution will be applied to the chain’s core grocery, home and lifestyles merchandise.
