Asda announces change to all Express stores across the UK
The labels will show pricing, allergens and promotions while freeing staff from manual price changes, Asda said.
Asda has invested more than £7.5 million to install 1.2 million electronic shelf-edge labels across its Express estate, eliminating manual price changes and freeing staff to serve customers.
Matt Harrison, Asda Express central operations director, called the rollout a 'major milestone' for modernizing stores, while Vusion UK and Ireland chief executive Roy Horgan praised the partnership's impact.
Asda is also trialling shelf-edge availability cameras in five of its larger stores to identify gaps and out-of-stock items, notifying staff for quicker replenishment.
Separately, the supermarket issued a recall for three handbags due to a 'serious chemical risk,' with The Office for Product Safety and Standards warning of excess phthalates.
Customers should stop using the Front Pocket Xbody Bag and Opp Tote Bag immediately and return them to any Asda store for a full refund or contact 0330 053 0111.
