Smartstore and 24/7 supermarket

Smartstore and 24/7 supermarket – the future of shopping

At a time when customers are becoming increasingly demanding, want to be well informed and want to organise their everyday lives as flexibly as possible, it is crucial for retailers to bring themselves up to date digitally. Smartstores and 24/7 supermarkets are the next stage in the evolution of retail: Innovative technologies such as electronic price tags, digital signage, NFC integration, self-checkout systems, intelligent access solutions and automated merchandise management create a seamless, secure and always-available shopping experience. Customers benefit from intuitive customer guidance, personalised information and a comfortable shopping environment, while retailers are relieved of the burden of centralised control, optimised processes and lower personnel costs.

Whether as a hybrid solution in an existing shop, a flexible container store or a fully automated branch, smart stores combine efficiency, convenience and security. With the wide variety of products from e-shelf-labels and in close partnership with PVA Systems, we implement tailor-made concepts that make retail future-proof: digital, flexible and customer-oriented.

We are happy to advise you!

Store variants for every requirement

Our smart store solution is flexibly scalable and can be adapted to different locations:

Container store – mobile, fully equipped units for rural areas or unoccupied locations
Hybrid solution – integration into existing retail space with reduced staffing requirements outside core hours
Stationary smart store – fully automated branch in a permanent building, more cost-efficient than conventional models while maintaining the same service standards

Digital features for maximum efficiency

A smart store combines state-of-the-art technology to automate operations and enhance the shopping experience:

Automated access control – secure identification and access around the clock
Electronic shelf labels (ESL) – centralised, dynamic pricing without manual effort
Self-checkout with AI – fast and intuitive payment, even during night-time operations
Integrated merchandise management & ERP connection – transparent inventory management and automatic reordering
Camera & security systems – modern surveillance and theft protection
Digital signage & NFC/QR integration – additional product information and interactive customer experiences

The PVA Smartstore is controlled by a powerful, modular software solution. At its heart is the B.O.S.S. platform, which can be used to centrally manage all important processes – regardless of location and in real time. These include access control, pricing, sales figure monitoring, product range management and self-checkout software. Depending on requirements, B.O.S.S. can be supplemented by additional systems: intuitive self-checkout software enables smooth payment – even during night-time operation with extended security functions. The connection to merchandise management or ERP systems ensures automated reordering and transparent inventory management.
