How to run a supermarket technology pilot
1. Choose representative stores. Use a busy branch and a smaller branch. Include fresh produce, chilled aisles and promotional displays. Record current queue times, price errors or order substitutions so the pilot has a baseline.
2. Map the systems before installing anything. Identify which system owns product codes, prices, stock and loyalty. Ask each supplier for a written integration plan. Assign responsibility for broken data feeds and delayed updates.
3. Test a normal week and a promotion change. Include loose produce, coupons, loyalty discounts, refunds and payment failures. For shelf labels, check that both the label and till change at the correct time. Repeat the test after a connection failure.
4. Measure the work that shifts to store staff. A faster checkout can still require more staff interventions. An online order tool can move work from picking to handling substitutions. Compare staff minutes per transaction or order as well as the shopper experience.
5. Test recovery in trading hours. Disconnect a test device, fail an update and restore service. Time the recovery. Check whether the store can continue trading, who answers the support call and how the system reconciles transactions when it reconnects.
6. Agree the rollout criteria. Set the service targets and costs before signing. Specify how many stores can go live each week, what triggers a pause and who pays for additional visits. Include training and spare equipment in the plan.
| Cost area | What the buyer should request |
|---|---|
| Hardware | Terminals, scales, mounts, gateways, chargers and spares |
| Software | Licence basis, support, upgrades and any transaction fees |
| Integration | Named systems, testing effort and ownership of changes |
| Rollout | Installation, training, site surveys and out-of-hours work |
| Support | Response and restoration targets, replacement stock and escalation |
| Exit | Data export format, transition assistance and device ownership |
Which project should go first?
Start with the problem that costs stores the most. If the issue is long queues, pilot checkout changes and track interventions. If it is frequent price mismatches, fix the pricing feed before replacing paper labels.
For online grocery, run a batch of real orders through stock reservation, picking, substitution, payment and refund. Measure the time staff spend resolving exceptions. Confirm how orders move to delivery or collection if a store loses connectivity.
Use like-for-like prices across bids. A cheap device can cost more once installation, gateways, support and replacement stock are included. Compare three-year costs for the same number of stores and the same service levels.
Ask each supplier for a reference that matches the proposed store format. A warehouse label deployment can show technical capability. A supermarket reference can show how it handles promotions, till price checks and store staff workflows.
How to compare suppliers
- Checkout: Measure interventions, queue times and offline recovery.
- Shelf labels: Check that till and shelf prices agree after a promotion update.
- Online fulfilment: Track stock accuracy, substitutions and picking time.
- Support: Confirm who will respond when systems fail during trading hours.
Match the pilot to the formats used by the supermarket chains in Slovenia you serve.
Editor’s note: Company figures and rollout counts show scale. Ask for a comparable store reference and a pilot before committing.
