Questions To Ask Electronic Shelf Label Companies

The electronic shelf label technology is quickly being adopted by people in the retail business. As the technology matures and the hardware drops in price, more and more organizations are taking a serious look at using ESL as part of their store promotions as well as ticketing solution. There has never been a better time to fully consider the impact of electronic shelf labels on a retail ticketing strategy.

When you decide to use  ESLs in your business,  you will need to look for the best electronic shelf label companies to acquire this technology from. There are various things you  need to ask the prospective candidates, one of them being if their ESL accommodate large volumes of pricing changes. If your store network is large or you make multiple pricing changes in a short period of time, the speed of transmission for your electronic shelf labeling system is very important. The transmission rates for ESLs  are broad, ranging from 1,000 changes per hour to hundreds of thousands of changes every hour. You need to make sure that the vendor you will choose can handle the volumes  that your store requires.

 Another important question you need to ask the prospective electronic shelf label companies is if their ESL can send acknowledgements of price changes.  To ensure pricing integrity, the  electronic shelf labelling system that you will install in your store should be able to receive and send data. Your headquarters will want to know if the price changes sent to the ESL has been received and published on the device. If you purchase a device that does not have two-way capability, you will leave yourself exposed to pricing integrity issues and, in the worst case scenario, compliance issues.
