The solutions from VusionGroup will allow us to provide our customers with clearer product information, more impactful promotions, and a more modern store environment for an enhanced shopping experience.”

The Bigger Picture: Discount Grocery Goes High-Tech
Netto’s move is more than just a tech upgrade, it’s a signal that even in the discount grocery sector, digital innovation is becoming a necessity, not a luxury.
