Lekkerland partners with VusionGroup to digitalize its 24/7 smart kiosks
Lekkerland, REWE Group’s expert in convenience solutions, has partnered with VusionGroup to fully digitalize its rapidly expanding network of autonomous 24/7 smart kiosks that leverage self-checkout technology across Germany.
Located in clinics, workplaces, and public spaces, these autonomous mini-stores are now equipped with VusionGroup’s cutting-edge solutions, enabling GDPR-compliant real-time shelf monitoring, cloud-based pricing, promotions, and stock management — all remotely controlled from Lekkerland’s headquarters in Frechen.
By integrating VusionGroup’s Cloud platform, digital price tags, and AI-powered shelf-monitoring technology, Lekkerland gains complete visibility into every product on every shelf. The system enables pricing and promotion updates, accurate restocking alerts, and item-level performance insights that drive operational efficiency and enhance the shopper experience. By implementing AI-driven shelf monitoring, Lekkerland increased on-shelf availability to over 95% within a short timeframe.
“The solutions from VusionGroup are our eyes inside the autonomous smart kiosks,” says Luca Heidari, Senior Rollout Manager for Smart Store Development at Lekkerland. “They allow us to precisely manage restocking without having to be on-site.”
The implementation was seamless and rapid across all pilot locations, with all new stores under this format now set to launch with VusionGroup’s solutions by default. Employees can assign new digital labels via handheld devices, with product and pricing information automatically synced from Lekkerland’s central merchandise management system—eliminating the need for physical interventions on-site.
“We are proud to support Lekkerland in scaling its 24/7 smart kiosk model across Germany,” says Sébastien Fourcy, SEVP Europe at VusionGroup. “Our collaboration demonstrates how AI, IoT, and data-driven automation can unlock new levels of efficiency, flexibility, and responsiveness in retail—even in unmanned formats. It’s a powerful example of how VusionGroup is transforming retail operations in real time.”
Following a successful pilot in Düsseldorf that quickly delivered measurable efficiency gains, the rollout has now expanded nationwide, with further store openings planned throughout 2025.
