Paper labels or electronic shelf labels?

The decision cannot be made from printing cost alone. Update frequency, store count, error exposure and central-control needs must be considered together.

01
Operations

Compare the complete change process

Printing, distributing, locating and applying a label all contribute to workload.

01.01

Paper workflow

Every price change requires printing, distribution and manual replacement, with higher delay risk during busy periods.

01.02

ESL workflow

Approved price data is sent from the integration to labels, while exceptions can be monitored centrally.

01.03

Measurement

Measure monthly changes, processing time and corrections with the same method before and after a pilot.

02
Accuracy

Manage shelf and checkout consistency

A trusted source and approval flow are required under either technology.

02.01

Manual risk

Wrong placement, delayed replacement or expired promotion art require separate controls in paper operations.

02.02

System risk

With ESL, integration and pairing failures must be observable and unsuccessful updates must be actionable.

02.03

Control

Product-label pairing, update results and field-verification ownership should be formally defined.

03
Investment

Use store data to make the migration decision

ESL is not automatically the right investment for every operation.

03.01

Best-fit scenario

Frequent price changes, multiple stores, intensive campaigns and central control strengthen the case.

03.02

Pilot

Select a representative store area and test against success measures agreed in advance.

03.03

Decision gate

Evaluate pilot evidence across investment, operational quality and ease of expansion.
