Displaydata’s ESLs, with the option of integrated Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, enable retailers to control and drive in-store pricing and promotions with speed, agility and consistency. Fully graphic and available in three colours, the ESLs can display product, price, promotion, stock levels, social reviews, currency details and much more. Displaydata’s ESLs are part of an architecture designed in partnership with retailers to be enterprise ready. The trusted platform is simple to install and needs the least amount of in-store hardware of any vendor. The wireless network is secure and the robust software enables the centralised management of any number of ESLs, across any number of stores.
