This ensures customers are always informed about the best deals available in real-time, thereby enhancing their shopping experience.

By utilising advanced digital technology, O'Reilly's Wholesale can deliver personalised and captivating content that resonates with customers across their retail stores, fostering loyalty and driving repeat business as well as NPD and core range uptake for their supply partners.

Yulia Petitt, Head of Commercial and Marketing, Sugro UK said: “I am absolutely thrilled to move to the next stage of the project with the Digital Signage Solution now being available to Retailers via Sugro Members. Digital Signage offering will continue to further strengthen the Group Retail Club mechanic via enhanced execution excellence and in-store theatre. It’s a great initiative for both our Members and Supply Partners.

"I have no doubt that the roll out of digital screens in retail stores will lead to increased sales and distribution though compliance and execution.”

Derek O’Reilly, Managing Director, O’Reilly’s Wholesale added, “This visual tool will be an informative feature in the store demonstrating a range of products available for the consumer to purchase within the shop. It can only be a positive advertising strategy for the retailer to increase their sales.”
