Retail in Sync in Action Across the Store

In customer experience, SOLUM is showing how personalised product guidance can be integrated with ESL and digital signage to create more connected in-store journeys.

In operations, the company is highlighting omnichannel picking and stock management solutions designed to improve task efficiency, reduce walking time and help store teams act on real-time shelf conditions. In sustainability, SOLUM is presenting solutions aimed at reducing operational waste, including food waste reduction linked to expiry-led pricing and real-time shelf updates.

 

In data monetisation, SOLUM is showcasing Vision AI-based capabilities that help retailers better understand shopper attention, product interaction and measurable in-store performance. SOLUM’s RTS showcase also reflects its open ecosystem approach, bringing together partners across fulfilment, smart data capture, food waste reduction and retail operations to support a more connected model of store execution.

 

Mark Duckworth, Country Manager UK & Ireland at SOLUM, said: “RTS 2026 is an important opportunity to show how SOLUM is bringing stronger products and more connected solutions to UK retailers. With Newton Core+ at the centre, we are expanding what ESL can deliver at shelf edge while helping retailers improve execution, efficiency and in-store performance through a broader portfolio of integrated technologies.”
