ESL ROI calculator

What are paper price tags costing you?

Three numbers is all it takes. We will show you the annual cost of changing prices by hand, what electronic shelf labels cost to put in, and how long the payback runs.

Hanshow

Displayify is the exclusive Hanshow distributor for Ireland

Chosen by Tesco UK as its electronic shelf label supplier for around 3,000 stores. The Grocer, June 2026

The number of priced lines on shelf, not total stock.
Fully loaded, including employer PRSI and holiday cover. Repricing is usually done by a supervisor rather than a new starter, so this sits above the €14.15 minimum wage.
Count each price file or promotion cycle, not each tag.

How this is worked out

    This is an indicative model, not a quotation. Real pricing depends on store layout, tag size mix, fixing accessories, network survey and integration scope. Displayify confirms figures after a site survey.
