90 minutes less to stock the shelves

Colruyt Lowest Prices is testing technology that allows us to save up to 90 minutes every day when stocking the shelves. The Product Finder application allows the smartphones of store workers to communicate with the electronic price labels. When a store worker scans the bar code of a product, the light of the price label flashes, telling the worker where the item goes. “The new application on the smartphone not only saves time, it also makes life easier for our store workers”, sales manager Rudi Dewulf says. “The fact that we're also saving money with this, is a nice bonus.” Product Finder was developed by our Smart Technics innovation team and was expanded and successfully tested at Colruyt Poperinge, Heverlee and Halle these past months. By the second half of 2023, the technology should be rolled out to all Colruyt stores. The technology will be rolled out to all OKay stores later.
