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.
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 system
Price, product name and promotions are edited once, where staff already work.
The EPOS posts each change straight to the platform over HTTPS. Real time, no hardware in store.
A small device at the till reads the exported price file on a schedule. Fits any legacy EPOS, no development.
ESL management
Maps product to label, renders the artwork from a template, queues the update for the store.
Ceiling mounted, wired to the store network.

Checkout — where the price is entered
Shelf edge — where the customer reads it
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.
The same change, on a clock
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.
