Context

The Leroy Merlin challenge: ensuring reliable, consistent, and useful signage to empower customers

At Leroy Merlin, in-store signage is much more than just a price tag.
It helps guide customers in their choices, ensures information is consistent between online and in-store, and guarantees compliance with regulatory requirements across the entire network.

The challenges before PiiVO:

  • Signage standardization
    Over 400 signage templates to maintain, making updates complex to deploy.
  • Information quality
    Ensuring reliable, consistent, and understandable information across all stores.
  • Time spent on signage
    Teams were spending time creating and updating labels instead of assisting customers.
  • Regulatory compliance
    Ensuring ongoing compliance with signage obligations and limiting risks associated with errors.
  • Omnichannel experience
    Providing identical information across the website, the app, and the stores.

Customer testimonial

Signage that empowers the customer

"PiiVO is at the heart of it. Beyond the fact that a product must at least have a price, PiiVO is essential, especially because it makes the customer as autonomous as possible. What PiiVO brings us today is consistency in our signage and the quality of the information provided to customers."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know for a successful transformation

How can you reduce pricing errors in-store?

By eliminating manual data entry. Product and price displays are generated from up-to-date central data. This reduces the risk of checkout disputes, saves time on customer service, and eases tension in-store.

Let's talk about price accuracy
How do you handle international linguistic and tax requirements?

The platform features native support for multilingual management and regional formats. From headquarters, you can manage templates that automatically adapt to the currencies, units of measurement, and local regulations of each subsidiary.

Let's discuss your international rollout
How is data security ensured?

PiiVO POSter is built on a secure SaaS architecture. Data exchanges are monitored, user access is granularly managed, and network constraints (VPN, internal policies) are strictly followed.

Let's discuss your needs
How does PiiVO integrate with our existing IT architecture?

PiiVO integrates with your existing systems—such as ERP, PIM, DAM, internal solutions, or pricing systems—via API or secure feeds. The goal is to leverage your reliable data without changing your current infrastructure.

How does Printer know which printer to send a document to?

Everything is based on rules you configure during onboarding: document format, media type, originating store, department, and more. Once these rules are set, Printer applies them automatically to every incoming document. If a PDF matches a strip format, it is sent to the laser printer using the correct tray. If it is a small label format, it is routed to the roll printer. If it is a large format, it goes to the plotter. No user intervention is required.
