SES-imagotag, (Euronext: SESL, FR0010282822), global leader in smart electronic labels and digital solutions for physical retail, today announces that it has been chosen by Unicoop Tirreno to equip its 94 stores over the next two years, including 31 locations in 2021.
The Group will deploy its VUSION Retail IoT Cloud platform in all Unicoop Tirreno stores, helping the Italian retailer to automate prices and promotions, while ensuring remote live monitoring of in-store technology.

- Captana, a real-time shelf monitoring solution combining computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to maximize on-shelf availability and to ensure merchandising compliance;
- VUSION Rail, Full-HD LCD displays enhancing the in-store shopping experience, while enabling brands to synchronize marketing campaigns across channels and retail chains in real-time through the VUSION platform.
