**Industry:** Beverages · Grocery · Convenience Retail  
**Distributor:** ExpoShelf — authorized POS Tuning distributor for Canada and the US (Metro Vancouver, BC)

## Overview

The POS-T SuperVario is a single-channel beverage shelf management system that accommodates all formats from 250ml slim cans to 1.5L bottles. Channel width adjusts continuously from 2.09 inches to 3.82 inches (53–97mm) with one finger and no tools. Spring-loaded pushers keep every product front-facing at all times. Used by Carrefour, Aldi, and REWE in Europe. Now available across Canada and the US through ExpoShelf.

## The Problem It Solves

The beverage aisle carries more SKU sizes than any other grocery category. Fixed-width pusher channels handle only one format — when the planogram changes, the entire channel must be replaced. Between resets, products drift to the back, cans tip over, and invisible out-of-stocks cost retailers an estimated 5% of weekly beverage sales without triggering a replenishment order.

- Fixed channels require full replacement when a new beverage format is introduced
- Different can and bottle widths demand separate pusher systems — higher cost and SKU complexity
- Manual facing between restocks adds hours of staff labor per shift
- Products pushed to the back are invisible to shoppers even when inventory exists
- Planogram changes require tools and full shelf resets

## The Solution

One system. Every format. Width adjusts in seconds with one finger.

The POS-T SuperVario covers the full width range from 2.09″ to 3.82″ (53–97mm) — wide enough for a 1.5L bottle, narrow enough for a 250ml slim can. Insert one finger into the guide profile opening, pull gently, and the channel opens to the desired width. No tools. No conversion parts. No second channel required.

Spring-loaded pushers advance product to the front automatically after every customer pick. The system mounts on Adapter-T Rails and fits metal, wire, and other shelf materials. Planogram changes are handled by removing the channel with product inside and reinstalling at the new position — no tools, no empty shelf, no downtime.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What beverage formats does the POS-T SuperVario accommodate?**  
A: The SuperVario covers the full beverage range — from 250ml slim energy drink cans to 1.5L bottles. The channel adjusts continuously between 2.09″ and 3.82″ (53–97mm), fitting standard 355ml cans, 473ml tall boys, 500ml bottles, and 1L cartons. It also handles sauce bottles and coffee cans.

**Q: How do you adjust the channel width?**  
A: Insert one finger into the opening in the middle of the channel's guide profile bottom and gently pull. The side sections open continuously from 53mm to 97mm (2.09″ to 3.82″). No tools required. The adjustment takes seconds and can be done mid-aisle with product still in the channel.

**Q: What shelf depths is the SuperVario available in?**  
A: Two depths: 22.83″ (580mm) and 18.90″ (480mm). Both can be shortened in 1″ (25mm) increments up to 3.94″ (100mm) — a 580mm channel can be reduced to 480mm, and a 480mm channel to 380mm. This covers virtually every standard grocery gondola shelf depth.

**Q: Can it present two products stacked on top of each other?**  
A: Yes. With side strings, the SuperVario converts to a two-tier stacking solution — cans or bottles presented on top of each other for high-impact aisle displays or where shelf height permits double-stacking.

**Q: How do I order in Canada or the US?**  
A: ExpoShelf is the official POS Tuning distributor for Canada and the US, based in Metro Vancouver, BC. Request a quote, sample, or free online demo at https://www.exposhelf.com/contact — typical response within one business day.
