Our Impact

  • Challenge

    Before implementing electronic shelf labels, Stein’s Ace Hardware relied on time-intensive manual shelf updates.

    • Associates spent hours each week replacing paper tags across aisles
    • Large updates required multiple team members and disrupted daily workflows
    • Inconsistent shelf information created confusion for both associates and customers

    These inefficiencies reduced time available for customer support and impacted overall store performance.

  • Solution

    Stein’s Ace Hardware deployed Vusion ESLs to modernize shelf operations and improve execution at scale.

    • Connected shelf technology streamlines store execution
    • Mobile app features help associates locate products quickly
    • Seamless integration with existing retail systems ensures consistency

    This connected shelf approach reduces operational friction while improving store accuracy and efficiency.

    Together, we improved accuracy, efficiency, and customer experience.

    • Saved time per day
