PRESTIGE between robotic mowers and agricultural machinery

AGRAVIS decides in favour of PRESTIGEenterprise as a communication platform for ESL and posters in its Raiffeisen markets.

Heidelberg, 26 November 2024 +++ As part of the DOCK programme for the introduction of SAP, the responsible SAP consulting company consenso is working together with AGRAVIS on the further optimisation of operational processes. The focus was also on the area of print optimisation. By integrating the professional software tool PRESTIGEenterprise, all printing processes were ultimately improved, simplified and accelerated. At the same time, AGRAVIS decided in favour of using Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) in its Raiffeisen markets. After an extensive selection process, the decision was made in favour of the Danish manufacturer Delfi.

"We spoke to many manufacturers, but in the end Delfi won us over - not only with the right labels and the right price, but also with competent contacts and fast response times," says Chantal Fasel, IT Project Manager at AGRAVIS. "The fact that PRESTIGEenterprise also provided an interface to Delfi was a real stroke of luck. We will soon be able to manage both the electronic shelf labels and the printed price tags with just one software - across all organisational units. This scaling is extremely important with over 120 companies."

PRESTIGEenterprise offers intuitive template management, which allows you to easily create the required templates in the appropriate format yourself, connect them to the central SAP system and distribute the predefined output media to the stores. AGRAVIS has built up the expertise for template creation in-house through training and creates and manages all templates itself.

After just under 2.5 months and a successfully completed test phase, the first store has been in pilot operation since March 2024. The first roll-out stage comprises around 30 Raiffeisen stores, all of which have decided to use ESL in their stores. Further stores are on the roll-out list.

"It is thanks to the excellent cooperation that the project was able to be rolled out so quickly," praises Marcel Ruholl, consenso project manager. "All the hurdles on the road to success were overcome in a courageous and solution-orientated manner. The best basis for a trusting and cooperative partnership."

We are very pleased about the first real implementation after the certification of the interface between the software solutions of Online Software AG and Delfi Technologies. Rendered images from customers can now be exchanged easily via the existing stock interface. For customers interested in ESL, this means that previously required programming work is no longer necessary and the images can be transferred one-to-one into the Breece software solution. This makes it even easier to get started with electronic labelling - partial configurations can be implemented quickly and easily. "Just install the antenna and get started," explains Matthias Brod (Authorised Signatory & Sales Director Retail) and continues, "for our joint customers, the certified interface is another milestone in the digitalisation of price labelling"
