SOLUM Partners with Lincolnshire Co-op to Roll Out Newton Pro Electronic Shelf Labels Across 100 Stores
Leading smart retail solutions provider deploys premium Newton Pro ESL solution to drive digital transformation at one of the UK's most respected co-operative societies
SOLUM, a global leader in smart retail solutions and Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) technology, has announced a strategic partnership with Lincolnshire Co-op to drive digital transformation across the society's store estate. Through this partnership, SOLUM will deploy its premium Newton Pro ESL to approximately 100 Lincolnshire Co-op stores by the end of 2025, enhancing operational efficiency, sustainability, and the overall customer experience.
SOLUM's Newton Pro ESL represents the pinnacle of retail technology innovation, combining exceptional reliability, durability, advanced interactive features, and industry-leading battery life. The solution enables real-time price updates, dynamic promotional displays, and seamless integration with existing retail systems, providing retailers with unprecedented operational flexibility whilst reducing costs and environmental impact.
For Lincolnshire Co-op, this investment in SOLUM's cutting-edge technology underscores the society's commitment to innovation that benefits its 300,000 members and the local community. By integrating Newton Pro across its store network, Lincolnshire Co-op will modernise operations, replace paper price labels with real-time digital pricing and promotions, and enable its 2,900 colleagues to focus more on assisting customers and delivering exceptional service.
The initiative also contributes significantly to both organisations' sustainability goals. SOLUM's Newton Pro ESL eliminates paper waste from traditional pricing labels, supports operational efficiency, and establishes a robust digital foundation for continued innovation in line with community needs and long-term environmental objectives.
