Aclas LS2X Label Printing Scale Installation at Carrefour Kenya
Scalestech supplied, installed, integrated and calibrated Aclas LS2X label printing scales across Carrefour Kenya supermarkets: GTC Centre in Westlands, Two Rivers, Runda Mall and Parklands in Nairobi, Ruiru in Kiambu County, and Promenade Mall in Nyali, Mombasa. Each store runs the scales at its fresh produce, butchery, deli, bakery and seafood counters, where every weighed item must carry a correct, scannable price label.
This case study explains what we installed, how we did it, what changed for the stores, and what a Kenyan supermarket, butchery or deli should know before buying a label printing scale.

Results across all stores
Across the stores, the installations delivered the following outcomes:
- Faster service at weighing counters. Automatic price calculation and one-step label printing shorten the time between selecting a product and leaving the counter, which reduces queues at peak hours.
- Accurate, consistent pricing. Because prices come from the central POS/ERP, shelf, label and till prices agree, and mistyped prices are eliminated at the counter.
- Better inventory data. Weighed items are recorded as they are sold, so stock levels and sales analytics reflect what actually left the shelf.
- Customer trust. Labels that clearly show weight, unit price, total and a barcode give customers a way to check for themselves, which reduces price disputes at the till.
- Quick staff onboarding. Quick keys and a clear display shortened training time for new and returning staff.
- Local support. Calibration, servicing and spares are provided by a Kenyan team, not a distant importer.
Why we recommended the LS2X for supermarket counters
We recommended the LS2X to Carrefour for reasons that apply to most Kenyan supermarkets:
- Speed. Fast label printing matters most at the butchery and deli during peak hours.
- Integration. Ethernet and USB support let us connect it to the store's existing POS and ERP instead of forcing a system change.
- Ease of training. New staff in a growing store become productive quickly because of the quick keys and clear display.
- Serviceability. We stock spares and can calibrate and repair the unit locally, so a fault does not mean weeks of waiting for parts from abroad.
