How ESL-Easy connects your till with electronic shelf labels, from architecture to mixed operation.

What sets ESL-Easy apart

No ongoing license fees

The pricing model has no ongoing software license fees.

Installed on your hardware

ESL-Easy runs entirely on your own hardware. No cloud connection is required for ongoing operation. For some manufacturers, a one-time connection to the EWS key server is required when new labels are registered for the first time.

Manufacturer-independent software

Depending on the supported manufacturer, ESL-Easy communicates with ESL hardware natively or via the manufacturer's interface.

Installation via copy and paste

No overhead from third-party software: installation is done simply via copy and paste.

Roll-out alongside daily business

Roll-out can proceed step by step during ongoing operations; stores can be converted one after another.

Pricing model

The ESL-Easy software runs license-free.

  • No ongoing software license fees
  • Mobile apps free of charge in the app stores

Security: key concept

Each label is protected by its own individual key, managed via the EWS key server. A label only works within the installation it is assigned to. Lost or stolen labels cannot be used in any other installation.

Linking a label

In the app, the label ID is scanned or entered, the location is confirmed, and the label is linked to a product from your inventory system. Tapping "Link" makes the label follow every price change automatically from then on, regardless of location. It can also be made to blink to help you find it on the shelf.

Mixed operation of old and new labels

Stores can be converted step by step: older tags and new labels work in parallel for as long as the rollout takes.

System architecture: store and headquarters

Access points connect the labels to the ESL-Easy server via Bluetooth, any number per location, with automatic selection of a suitable access point and, depending on network and hardware configuration, failover. A central installation can also manage a large number of locations.

Integration with your inventory system

ESL-Easy reads item and price data from your existing inventory management system, whichever way suits your system: file import when only an export is possible; a realtime request on every price change for the freshest data; or a request at fixed intervals. No additional duplicate data entry or system change is required. How up to date the displayed data is depends on the connected ERP system, the chosen interface and the available network connection.
