Canadian IoT company Danavation, a provider of micro e-paper displays, is to supply its digital smart labels to two pharmacies run by Pharmasave in Ontario.

With more than 800 stores across the country, Pharmasave is one of Canada’s leading independent drugstore and pharmacy retailers.

Following Danavation’s development of a custom link to Pharmasave’s point-of-sale (PoS) system, the installation should start in late March and be completed in early April, 2022.

Since its inception in 1981, Pharmasave has focused on building a national platform of community-based retail outlets designed to provide customers with service, products and advice. Each store operates independently to serve its community, thereby ensuring all programmes and services are tailored to meet the needs of customers while upholding Pharmasave’s commitment to help all clients.

“We are proud to continue growing our presence in our home province of Ontario, and honoured to be working with a strong Canadian banner such as Pharmasave,” said John Ricci, CEO of Danavation. “We look forward to developing further relationships with other Pharmasave owners who recognise the benefits of digital smart labels for customers, employees and their store’s bottom line. By engaging Danavation to develop a custom integration with their PoS system in tandem with the installation of our digital smart labels, Pharmasave can eliminate most of the operational costs associated with manual price changes, which allows for more positive and effective interaction with clients.”

Danavation Technologies is a Canadian IoT technology company providing micro e-paper displays to organisations across North America. The company’s digital smart labels, powered by IoT automation technology and software platform-as-a-service (PaaS), enable companies across various sectors to automate labelling, price, product and promotions in real time, enhancing data accuracy and improving performance by removing high labour costs and low productivity associated with traditional labour-intensive workflows.

By empowering the adoption of smart retail, smart cities and Industry 4.0, the company says its goal is to create a sustainable and profitable business for shareholders while advancing sound environmental, social and governance practices, including by reducing paper usage.
