September 25, 2024 – VusionGroup (VU – FR0010282822) the global leader in the digitalization solutions for commerce, today announced a new roll-out of its solutions with company L'Abbondanza, a premier Italian grocery retailer associated with Selex Group, to implement a full-chain upgrade of its 43 stores in Umbria, Tuscany, and Marche regions.

This collaboration will see L'Abbondanza harness VusionGroup's state-of-the-art IoT, Data, and AI-driven technologies to elevate operational efficiency, enrich customer experiences, and foster a better work environment for its staff.

"VusionGroup's pioneering solutions mark a transformative era for our stores," says William Camilletti, Chief Executive Officer of L'Abbondanza. "Their advanced technologies will refine our in-store operations, from pricing and inventory management while also improving the customer experience by providing greater clarity in promotions and discounts, ensuring a seamless shopping experience."

L'Abbondanza will significantly benefit from the technologies invented by VusionGroup: instant price updates, error reduction, time and operational costs saving and more efficient inventory management.

Additionally, l'Abbondanza will also experiment Captana in H2 2024, resulting in better product availability and real-time inventory management thanks to VusionGroup ‘s technology built on Artificial intelligence and computer vision. Engage rails will also be experimented to enhance in-store media activities.

"Our mission is to digitalize physical commerce and help leading retailers such as L'Abbondanza, especially in a strategic market such as Italy," comments Sébastien Fourcy, SEVP EMEA. "By enhancing staff productivity, we are allowing them to focus on what matters most: helping their customers. We are proud of the positive impact our technologies will have on their daily operations.”

The rollout of VusionGroup's solutions at L'Abbondanza is well underway, with a target completion date set for the first quarter of 2025. This deployment capitalizes on the existing Cisco Meraki Wi-Fi infrastructure already in stores, coupled with the VusionCloud platform, to guarantee fast and secure installations.
