Case Studies
FAQs
Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are digital display systems used in retail stores to replace traditional paper price tags or labels on shelves. The labels can show a variety of information such as product pricing, nutrition information, promotions, stock and supply chain and other relevant details. ESLs are an integral part of modernizing retail practices, offering benefits to both businesses and customers.
It depends. A change to ESL is an investment. But there are different factors to be incorporated here. For example, there are tax advantages like depreciations. There are also obvious and easy trackable savings like printer for paper labels or the paper itself. Also, rental models are possible – which does not reduce the overall burden but breaks it down into smaller pieces. A very small store (e.g., 1500 ESLs) can implement ESL for a price of about 15 pounds per day. Depending on the store size it can be up to 80 EUR / Day. What is not included in this cost-benefit calculation are the various time savings for your staff – which easily sums up to 1hr per day. Promotions can be run, reliably run, started, and managed by a central category management team. Which makes negotiations with manufacturers significantly easier. Customers will never get disappointed every again. New and not yet fully trained stuff is way less likely to make mistakes. In those countries where shelf compliance will become local law that is not the least reason to invest in ESLs.
All labels are connected to the central stores system and are centrally managed. The system provides real-time updates. Through a wireless connection, ESLs can be updated remotely and in real-time. This connectivity allows retailers to change prices, update product information, or launch promotions across multiple ESLs simultaneously, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
From shelf monitoring to product picking, Panasonic’s ESL solution combines the Internet of Things with a cloud-based platform to make not only stores more efficient, but your technology easily scalable, ultra-secure and future-proof too.
ESLs contribute to a more interactive shopping experience. Customers can easily read product information, compare prices, and identify promotions without having to search for staff assistance. ESLs can also be used for digital campaigns promoting social channels, logos or QR codes linking to recipes for example.
Overall, ESLs offer a range of benefits, including operational efficiency, cost savings, improved customer experience, and the ability to implement more dynamic and responsive pricing strategies in the competitive retail landscape.
