Morrisons Lets Shoppers Make Shelf Labels Flash to Find Items

The More Card app now triggers magenta flashes on electronic shelf labels to guide shoppers to items and update prices automatically.

Overview

  • Morrisons announced on Thursday, November 12, 2026 that a ‘shop to light’ feature is live in more than 270 stores, letting More Card users locate products by making the matching electronic shelf label flash magenta.
  • Customers open the Product Finder on the More Card app, search for an item, confirm their aisle and choose “flash price label” to make the in-store digital label light up and show the product’s exact shelf position.
  • The system runs on electronic shelf labels installed by Vusion, a partner on the rollout, and those labels also support automated price updates to improve pricing accuracy and speed store operations.
  • Morrisons says the feature is aimed at speeding shopping in high-density aisles such as herbs, spices and sauces and at easing visits during busy periods like the run-up to Christmas.
  • Retail context: Morrisons presents the move as a UK supermarket first for this customer-facing use of ‘shop to light’ technology, though similar systems are already in use in the United States and wider rollout could change in-store workflows and staff tasks.
