#electronic labeling

If you are considering using electronic price labels in your business, you need to look for the right ESL solution. It is without doubt that the electronic labels have a lot of benefits compared to the paper labels. But for you to benefit greatly from this technology, you need to invest in the right ESL solution. The following are some of the important things to consider when choosing a solution to use in your business.

First of all, make sure that you find out of the ESL solution that you are interested in  sends acknowledgements of price changes. In order to ensure pricing integrity, you need to make sure that the solution you will use in your store can be able to receive and send data. Your head office should be able to know if the price changes sent to the ESL solution are receive and published on the device. If you purchase a solution that does not have a two-way capability, you will leave yourself exposed to pricing integrity issues  as well as compliance problems in the worst case.

When choosing an electronic price labels solution, you also need to find out if it can accommodate  large volumes of pricing changes.  If retail store network is large or  you usually make multiple price change in a short period of time, the speed of transmission of the ESL system that you will choose is very important. The transmission rates for electronic shelf labelling solutions are broad. They range from 1,000 changes per hour to hundreds of thousands of changes per hour. When choosing a solution to use in your store, make sure that it is capable of handling the volume that your store requires.
