Novago Cooperative renews its collaboration with JRTech Solutions for the additional deployment of Pricer electronic shelf labels in several BMR stores

MONTREAL, Jan. 6, 2022 /CNW/ - Under the BMR banner, Quebec's leading home improvement chain with over 300 stores in Quebec, Ontario and the Maritime provinces, Novago Cooperative is extending its agreement with JRTech Solutions, Canada's largest distributor of electronic shelf labels in North America, to equip additional BMR hardware stores with the latest generation of Pricer Power+ electronic shelf labels in 2022.

The first implementation process will begin with the deployment of the first four stores. Thereafter, through several waves of installations, Novago will analyze the possibility of migrating the rest of its stores to Pricer's technology.

"Having already equipped some of our stores with Pricer's automated pricing systems, we are convinced of the efficiency and effectiveness of the investment we are making with JRTech Solutions," said Nicolas Simon, Co-Director of Operations and Sales, Retail at Novago Cooperative. "We are ensuring that we have the best provider to digitally support our in-store experts."

"As the leading user of electronic shelf labels in its industry, BMR Group has demonstrated for over 10 years that our Pricer technology is the solution of choice for hardware operational development," said Diego Mazzone, President and CEO of JRTech Solutions. "By collaborating with Novago, the cooperative honours us by further strengthening our position as the preferred supplier to enable hardware dealers to streamline the workflow of their staff, minimize the risk of errors in the field and ensure a high level of customer service."
