Answering to market demands
We believe current cardboard consuming displays are wasting time, money and resources.
Did you know:
More than 1 billion kg’s cardboard is wasted yearly!
Any idea how they boost sales?
Do lead times allow you to anticipate on topicalities?
Do you understand the struggle of setting them up and breaking them down?
“Proteus offers a win-win solution for everyone. It’s creates less waste and we can simplify our repacking process and it is also for the retailer a very good solution and it is less waste for them as well.”
“The fact that we are standardising and reusable is the reason why it will be an asset for the whole supply chain. At the moment, we have no clue whether a promotion is working fine or not.”
“My dream would be that within eighteen months we have replaced all the current cardboard displays by Proteus displays, that we have something to measure the effectiveness of the display and that we get it implemented without any frustration and negative reaction.”
Displays on demand
Our holistic approach is a game changer.
| Cardboard display | Proteus display | |
|---|---|---|
| Standardised | No standard | Standardised Fits every product range by format and weight |
| Theatralisation | Limited, with high costs | Endless with less cost, due to standardisation and digital printing |
| Supply chain | High complexity | Standardised |
| Number of displays | Fixed number | Lower pay per use through high rotation |
| Lead times from ideation to placement | 12 to 16 weeks | 2 to 4 weeks |
| Display performance | No insights | IoT-technology provides instant insights |
| Cardboard consumption | 100% cardboard | Down 85% |
| Setup | Difficult set-up, if set-up at all | In seconds. And standardised |
| Revenues | What revenues? | Up! |
| Bill of material | Up to 20 different materials | Communication sleeve and Proteus |
Robust, durable & proven
At Proteus we leave nothing to chance. Our displays are robust, safe and durable. Once they need replacement, they contribute to the circular economy since everything is reusable. As for the integrated IoT-technology, this is provided by our joint venture partner Ahrma Pooling; manufacturer of the Smart Pallet.
