Electronic Shelf Labels – The Future of Price Management in Retail
At Delfi Technologies, we understand the importance of efficiency and streamlined operations in the retail industry. With over 34 years of experience, we specialize in providing IT solutions that optimize daily operations for companies across industries. One of our most requested and business-critical solutions is electronic shelf labels.
Electronic shelf labels are revolutionizing the way the retail industry handles prices and product information. By replacing traditional paper price tags with digital price tags, valuable employee time is freed up, errors are reduced, and price information is always accurate and up-to-date. Whether you run a specialty store, gas station, or a larger retail chain, electronic shelf labels can improve the customer experience and strengthen your bottom line.
In this guide, we will go through what electronic shelf labels are, how they work, what benefits they provide, and how Delfi Technologies helps your company implement a future-proof ESL solution.
What are Electronic Shelf Labels, and how do they work?
Electronic shelf labels (ESL) are digital display units that are mounted on store shelves and display prices and product information. Unlike paper price tags, which require manual handling, electronic shelf labels can be updated centrally via a wireless connection.
A complete electronic shelf labels system typically consists of three main elements:
