Retail technology

How it connects to your EPOS

A price change leaves your till system, reaches the label platform, and is broadcast by an access point in the ceiling to the labels below. Nothing is typed twice and nothing is printed.

All retail technology

E-paper

Print, not a screen

The label draws power only when the image changes, so a coin cell lasts years. It holds its price with no power at all and reads like paper under shop lighting.

One record

The shelf cannot disagree with the till

Both read the same price record, so the mismatch that causes disputes at the checkout stops happening.

Confirmation

Every label reports back

Updates are acknowledged, so you can see which labels are current and which need attention.

Templates

More than a price

Unit price, was-price, allergen icons, QR codes and stock location all sit in the label template.

One price change, from till to shelf

Where the price goes after someone types it

EPOS → API or dongle → cloud → access point → label
Live in seconds. No reprinting, no relabelling.
1Source of truth

EPOS system

Price, product name and promotions are edited once, where staff already work.

APILIVE PUSH

The EPOS posts each change straight to the platform over HTTPS. Real time, no hardware in store.

DonglePOLLED

A small device at the till reads the exported price file on a schedule. Fits any legacy EPOS, no development.

2Cloud platform

ESL management

Maps product to label, renders the artwork from a template, queues the update for the store.

The same change, on a clock
T+0s

Price edited

Staff change the price once, in the EPOS.

T+1s

Change detected

The API call fires, or the dongle picks it up on its next poll.

T+2s

Artwork rendered

The platform builds the new label image from the template.

T+3s

Broadcast

The access point transmits to the addressed label.

T+5s

Shelf matches till

The label redraws and confirms. Shelf and till now agree.

  1. 01

    Your EPOS

    The price is changed once, in the system you already use.

  2. 02

    Label platform

    The change arrives at the platform, which knows which label shows which product.

  3. 03

    Access point

    A unit in the ceiling, wired to the store network, broadcasts over 2.4 GHz RF.

  4. 04

    The label

    The shelf edge redraws and acknowledges the update, so you know it landed.

Two ways to connect.

Which one suits you depends on your EPOS, not on your budget — we will tell you which after the survey.

API

Live push

Your EPOS posts each change directly to the platform over HTTPS as it happens.

  • Real time, no polling delay
  • No extra hardware in the store
  • Scales cleanly across many sites

Needs support from your EPOS vendor

Dongle

Polled

A small device at the till reads your exported price file on a schedule and forwards the changes.

  • Works with legacy EPOS
  • No development needed
  • Quick to fit — plug in and go

Updates arrive on the poll interval

Either way the access point does the same job: it sits in the ceiling, wired to the store network, and broadcasts over 2.4 GHz RF to every label in range. One access point usually covers a whole small store.

What they are

A paper ticket that listens to your database

Each label is a small e-paper screen clipped into the shelf rail. E-paper draws power only when the image changes, so a coin cell lasts over ten years. The label holds its price with no power at all, and it looks like print under shop lighting — no glare, no backlight, readable from any angle.

One price, everywhere

The shelf can no longer disagree with the till, because both read the same record.

No more ticket runs

Promotions start and end on schedule without anyone walking the aisles with a printer.

Every label reports back

Updates are acknowledged, so you can see which labels are current and which need attention.

Room for more than price

Unit price, was-price, allergen icons, QR codes and stock location all sit in the template.

What we need to scope an integration

Most of this comes from your EPOS provider rather than from the stores.
