Pricer wins Carrefour France ESL rollout, the largest ESL project to
date

Carrefour, the second largest retailer worldwide, has chosen Pricer for
upgrading the Electronic Shelf Labels in its hypermarkets. Pricer's new
Continuum labels will replace the previous generation labels that are
installed in 194 hypermarkets in France. First 12 to 17 hypermarkets
will be installed this year. Carrefour also indicated that the rest of
the stores are planned to be installed until 2013. Pricer estimates that
the total value of the ESL replacement at Carrefour hypermarkets is
close to 300 MSEK.

“Following an extensive evaluation process of ESL benefits as well as
comprehensive comparison with other solutions, Carrefour's decision is
the best proof to the significant role of ESL in today's competitive
retail environment” says Fredrik Berglund, Pricer's CEO. “Carrefour
started the deployment of ESL in 2004 and since then, ESL has become a
mandatory tool for Carrefour in implementing Dynamic Pricing strategies
and optimizing store operations. This is the most significant ESL
project of any retailer and we are proud to be the ones chosen for the
implementation.”
