Electronic shelf labels (ESL): the complete guide
How electronic labels connected to the register update prices on the shelf automatically, save time and prevent pricing mistakes.
Electronic shelf labels (ESL) are small e-ink screens on the shelf that show the price and update themselves from the system. No more swapping stickers by hand, and no more gaps between the register and the shelf.
How does it work?
Koopax connects to the electronic labels in your shop. Each label is tied to a product by barcode, and every price change is pushed to it in real time:
- The price on the shelf always matches the price at the register
- A promotion updated across the whole shop — in one tap
- Works for a single branch and for a whole chain alike
Three big advantages
1. Complete accuracy
No more situations where a customer sees one price on the shelf and pays another at the till.
2. Enormous time savings
Instead of changing hundreds of stickers before every promotion — everything updates automatically.
3. Custom templates
Build a label template at whatever size you need — with product name, price, promotion, barcode and logo.
