Asda Rolling Out Electronic Shelf Labels to 250 Express Stores

Asda says the VusionGroup system frees staff from manual price changes, with no job cuts or dynamic pricing.

Overview

  • Deployment covers 250 Asda Express locations following a three‑month trial at the Oxford Road store in Manchester.
  • Each site will get about 2,800 digital tags, taking the total to more than 700,000 across the rollout.
  • VusionGroup is supplying the technology with delivery partners Renovotec and HL Display.
  • The labels display price, weight and unit cost and add QR codes that surface allergen information at the shelf edge.
  • Asda says staffing levels will be maintained and prices will not update dynamically, and up to 20 new Express stores—starting with Castleford next week—will feature ESLs from opening.
