In-store innovation

Basko is part of the Sogegross Group, leader in large-scale distribution in the Liguria region.
Headquartered in Genoa, the Sogegross Group celebrated in 2020 its 100th in business. The company operates in central and northern Italy with an extensive network of supermarkets, sixty of which under the Basko brand, which has enjoyed significant expansion in recent years.

Project

The continuous evolution of the retail market and customer consumption behaviours requires ever-faster adaptation to new conditions. Basko is investing in technology by focusing on Smart Kiosks and Electronic labels. The partner chosen for the project is Retex, which has rapidly implemented the innovative solutions in two stores, with the intention of introducing them to all Basko supermarkets.
