10-year battery life

We believe that every store aims to increase sales, enhance operations, and, above all, maintain customer satisfaction. This is where stores face challenges: inaccurate prices have a negative impact on customer opinions, and updating thousands of paper price labels is expensive and time-consuming. We are here to help you reach your goal – with guaranteed satisfaction.

Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) are a modern solution for communicating up-to-date pricing information and as such create an efficient store environment both today and in the future. With automatic updates, pricing information is always accurate, thus eliminating the chance of manual errors. The same price on shelves and at checkout ensures customer satisfaction, increases trust, and creates cost savings, for example by reducing waste and freeing up staff time for more productive tasks and customer service.

With our step-by-step support, let us make your store’s pricing electronic today!

Long-lasting

EWQ’s shelf labels have the best battery life on the market of up to 10 years, reducing life-cycle costs.

Always accurate prices

Automatically updated prices prevent manual pricing errors and increase customer satisfaction.

Real time price changes

Price updates up to 10 times faster compared to other electronic shelf labels enable real-time dynamic pricing, increasing sales and reducing losses.

Increase sales and profitability

Time-consuming and costly paper prints and placements are no longer needed when all available information, such as product information, prices, and offers, are transferred directly from the store’s system to thousands of ESL displays. Updating prices becomes quick and easy, so new product prices are reflected at the checkout faster than before.

Thanks to ESL displays, price information is always the same between the checkout and the shelf, preventing products from being sold at incorrect prices. Electronic price displays also save costs and the environment due to their long battery life and reusability.

Speed up shelving and online order picking

Printing and attaching price tags consume a lot of staff resources, making price changes an expensive task. ESL displays speed up pricing by up to 80% and shelving by 30–60%, resulting in significant savings at the chain level, as shelving accounts for 60% of staff working hours.

By scanning the product’s barcode, the ESL’s LED light starts flashing, making it quicker to find the product’s location. Online order picking also speeds up proportionally. Additionally, employees can directly check the product’s stock status from the label. Your staff can use the freed-up time for more meaningful work, such as serving customers.

Increase customer satisfaction

The clarity and readability of product prices are important to customers. If the price is not found or if the price at the checkout is different from the shelf, the customer may feel deceived in the worst case. With electronic price tags, the product always shows the up-to-date price, and you can also clearly communicate offers using different highlight colors.

10-year battery life

Our electronic shelf labels have the best battery life on the market – up to ten years. With batteries needing to be replaced only very rarely, the maintenance time for the displays is minimized. The long battery life also reduces the lifecycle costs of the displays and decreases toxic chemical waste. The minimal energy consumption of ESL displays lowers the ecological footprint of retail.

A paperless store is sustainable

Electronic pricing reduces paper consumption in retail by up to 90%, which means thousands of tons of paper annually. Paper production consumes a lot of energy and water, which increases greenhouse gas emissions and can pollute water bodies. Minimizing paper consumption supports sustainable development, promotes forest conservation, and reduces landfill burden.

Reduce waste

With real-time price updates, inventory management, and product location enabled by the ESL system, the lifecycle of perishable products is monitored and prices are adjusted according to the last sale dates. Dynamic pricing significantly reduces the number of products that would otherwise need to be discarded.

Successful promotions

Based on our clients’ feedback, we know that electronic shelf labels increase the attention value and sales of products on offer. Automatic price updates ensure that each promotion’s and bundle’s price is shown, while the promotions highlighted in red on the electronic shelf labels increase the attention value. This encourages the industry to offer promotions, as suppliers and representatives can be confident that the agreed promotional product prices are found on shelves. The automatically updated price information on large digital displays further increases visibility.

Edit products manually

Automatically transferred product information is not always detailed enough, preventing your customers from receiving the information they need. Product information on electronic shelf labels can be manually edited, allowing for more detailed product descriptions. The electronic labels can also display a small red dot as an indicator of internal information as well as special markings indicating, among other things, if the product is gluten-free or vegan.

For all types of stores

Available electronic shelf labels range from small displays, including displays compatible with commercial freezers and refrigerators, to large A4 price displays that fit well at the end of a shelf and that can be used for promotional purposes. Price templates can be designed based on brand, department or product group using colour accents, logos and different fonts. The content can also be divided into parts in a cost-effective manner to display pricing and information for more than one product on one label.

A solution for your needs

Over the years we have developed countless new features for our electronic shelf label solution that have brought added value to both customers and staff alike.  Development never sleeps at EWQ – we are constantly and actively innovating together with our clients!

Industries

Grocery stores
Electronic shelf labels will make your store more efficient and reduce labour costs, as staff no longer have to set pricing information manually. The labels also enable dynamic pricing, allowing you to react quickly to buying behaviour and reduce losses. Versatile features, such as the electronic shelf labels’ LEDs, also make picking up products for online orders easier and faster.
Pharmacies
Automatically updating electronic shelf labels streamline the pricing of your pharmacy by eliminating the time-consuming need to change thousands of paper price labels manually, freeing up staff for customer service. Tightly packed shelves are not an issue either, as one electronic shelf label can hold two products’ information and display them right by the products. This saves both space and costs, as you only need half the amount of labels.
