Case Study: Adams Fairacre Farms improves pricing efficiency with ECRS Electronic Shelf Labels

Adams Fairacre Farms cuts ESL rollout to 4 days per store with ECRS

Adams Fairacre Farms, an independent grocery chain in New York's Hudson Valley, sought to modernize its pricing and signage systems to enhance operational efficiency and ensure pricing accuracy. The challenge was to eliminate the manual, labor-intensive process of printing and hanging paper tags. To address this, they partnered with vendor ECRS to implement Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) that integrate with their existing ECRS CATAPULT Point-of-Sale systems.

ECRS, in collaboration with Aperion, provided a seamless ESL solution that was implemented with minimal disruption during store hours. The results included streamlined workflows, a significant reduction in manual labor, and improved pricing accuracy, which is critical for compliance with local refund laws. The team at Adams Fairacre Farms reported the system was nearly effortless to manage, with very few technical support calls, and it provided the added benefits of reducing paper waste and offering new flexibility for marketing and signage.
