International Supermarket News is pleased to highlight ECS Global Inc., an international organisation transforming the way retailers communicate with customers across every touchpoint. With its advanced ECS5 Media Suite, the company empowers retailers to deliver consistent, accurate, and efficient messaging across all media types—helping operations run smoothly while elevating the shopper experience.
ECS Global’s footprint is truly global. The ECS5 Media Suite is deployed across 20 time zones, operating in more than 60,000 locations throughout Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Australasia. The company works closely with some of the world’s largest retailers, including a significant portfolio of major grocers who rely on ECS5 to streamline in-store and digital communication.
At a time when retailers are under increasing pressure to deliver clarity, accuracy, and speed, ECS Global advocates for a blended media canvas—an approach that integrates the strengths of traditional and digital communication. This includes:
- High-quality, efficient paper signage, which remains essential across global retail.
- Electronic shelf-edge technology, deployed with precision depending on the format, store size, and customer need.
- Dynamic multimedia screens, centrally controlled from head office, enabling retailers to respond instantly to real-time market conditions such as weather shifts, holidays, festivals, sporting triumphs or competitive pricing changes.
ECS Global’s commitment to empowering retailers is further strengthened by the ECS5 Symphony Suite, a powerful tool that allows organisations to create engaging product descriptions, targeted content, and unified campaigns that can be deployed across all technologies simultaneously. This cohesive approach helps retailers reduce errors, improve operational efficiency, and maintain brand integrity at scale.
As retail continues to evolve—driven by technology, consumer expectations, and market pressure—solutions like ECS5 are becoming central to the modern store environment. International Supermarket News will continue to follow ECS Global’s progress as the company shapes the future of retail communication across continents
