Leading global food retailer, Carrefour, has partnered with Vusion to digitalise all of its hypermarkets and supermarkets in France by 2030.

The move follows a pilot of Vusion’s EdgeSense technology in Carrefour’s Villabé hypermarket in June 2025, which tested its connected store solution, blending smart rail systems, Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), computer vision and AI.

The extended partnership with Carrefour will see Vusion deploying ESLs, smart rails and AI-driven cameras to transform the food retailer’s operational efficiency and in-store CX as part of its “Carrefour 2030” plan.

“Carrefour 2030 is a growth plan that relies notably on accelerating tech and AI,” said Alexandre Bompard, Chairman & CEO of Carrefour. “By partnering with Vusion, we are propelling our stores into a new era.”

The partnership will equip Carrefour’s shelves with millions of smart labels connected to the cloud, which will combine Vusion IoT infrastructure for real-time price updates and light-guided assistance for employees (“pick-to-light”).

It will also include Bluetooth-connected rails for automatic product geolocation to optimise ecommerce picking and replenishment, as well as AI micro-cameras, which monitor and detect out-of-stocks.

“The digitalisation of our shelves is the essential foundation for deploying our vision of modern retail, serving competitiveness, quality of life at work for our employees and customer satisfaction,” added Bompard.

Thierry Gadou, Chairman & CEO of Vusion, said the partnership would put the “store at the heart of tomorrow’s omnichannel commerce,” adding it would improve performance while enhancing satisfaction for customers and employees.
