  • Written by: Daily Bulletin

PARIS, Sept. 29,

Under the agreement, JB Hi-Fi plans to deploy Vusion's digital shelf-edge technology across its stores, following a successful pilot phase, as well as a full rollout across JB Hi-Fi's New Zealand store network.

This next stage will further advance the retailer's connected store strategy while preserving JB Hi-Fi's distinctive in-store experience. By bringing its recognizable shelf-edge communication style into a connected platform, Vusion will help combine the retailer's strong merchandising culture with greater pricing and product information, faster in-store execution, easier access to product information for store teams, and greater operational efficiency.

Vusion's platform also supports store teams by giving team members easier access to richer product information directly at the shelf edge, including through contactless interactions with store PDAs. This helps teams provide customers with more relevant product details, such as available models, colors, financing information and expanded product content, while reducing repetitive manual tasks and improving consistency between online and in-store information.

"JB Hi-Fi is focused on innovation that delivers efficiencies to our store operations and supports our teams in serving customers," said Cameron Trainor, MD of JB Hi-Fi Australia. "Our collaboration with Vusion gives us a scalable technology platform to support store teams, strengthen execution and advance the next phase of our strategy."

"We are very proud to support JB Hi-Fi as it takes this important step toward a more connected store network," said Pierre Demoures, SEVP & COO of Vusion. "Australia is a key market for Vusion and JB Hi-Fi is one of the region's most distinctive retailers. This agreement shows how connected store infrastructure can help leading retailers modernize operations while preserving the store experience that makes them unique."

Through Vusion's native integration with Cisco Meraki, JB Hi-Fi will connect the Vusion platform to the existing wireless infrastructure already deployed in its stores, reducing additional infrastructure requirements while simplifying rollout and helping limit both operational costs and the environmental footprint of the deployment.
