The right price and the right label, from one product record
In a convenience store the shelf edge ticket and the allergen label are a few feet apart, printed by the same colleague on the same shift. Dill holds one record per product, so the price on the shelf and the allergens on the pack are both right, and both stay right when the record changes.
Printed or electronic?
Electronic shelf labels are being pitched hard, often on the compliance argument. Here is the honest version, because the honest version is the one that helps you decide.
Capital cost and install
An ESL is a battery-powered screen per facing, plus gateways and fitting. Printed tickets run on hardware you already have.
When a price is wrong at 6am
An ESL updates centrally in seconds, which is its real strength. A printed ticket is reprinted in seconds too, but by someone on site.
Battery and refresh
ESLs are a fleet to power, monitor and eventually replace. Tickets are consumable and do not fail silently.
What an ESL does not solve
The label on the food still has to exist. An ESL prices the shelf, it does not put an ingredient list and allergens on the pack. That is a separate, printed job.
Where ESL genuinely wins
Large estates with frequent, central price changes across thousands of facings. For most convenience and forecourt sites the math does not land there yet.
One product record, both jobs
A shelf edge ticket and an allergen label look like different jobs. In a convenience store they are a few feet apart, printed by the same colleague on the same shift, and they are both wrong for the same reason when they are wrong: the product record behind them was out of date.
Dill holds one record per product. The price goes to the shelf edge, the ingredients and allergens go to the pack, and both update when the record does. Pricing and allergen labeling stop being two systems and two problems.
Trusted on the shop floor
Convenience, forecourt and grab-and-go operators run Dill across their estates.
