How to choose an electronic shelf label supplier?
2025-08-19 0

Here are several factors to consider when selecting a supplier:


  1. Product Quality:

    • Technology: Check the technology used in the labels (e.g., E Ink, LCD). E Ink is preferred for better visibility and lower power consumption.

    • Durability: Ensure the labels are robust, especially if they will be used in environments with high foot traffic or extreme temperatures.

    • Design Variety: Evaluate whether the supplier offers various sizes and designs to fit different shelving needs.


  2. System Integration:

    • Software Compatibility: Ensure that the ESL system can integrate with your existing inventory management, ERP, or POS systems.

    • APIs and SDKs: Check if they provide APIs or SDKs for custom integration with other systems.


  3. Pricing and Total Cost of Ownership:

    • Initial Costs: Compare the costs of the labels, hardware, and software.

    • Ongoing Costs: Assess maintenance, support, software licenses, and potential upgrade costs.


  4. Customization:

    • Label Customization: Determine if the supplier allows for custom designs or features to fit your branding or functional requirements.


  5. Support and Service:

    • Technical Support: Evaluate the level of technical support offered. Is it available 24/7? How can you reach them (phone, email, chat)?

    • Training: Check if the supplier provides training for your staff on using the ESL system effectively.


  6. Reliability and Reputation:

    • Supplier History: Research the supplier’s experience in the ESL market and look for reviews or testimonials from other businesses.

    • Case Studies: Request case studies or references from customers in your industry to gauge the supplier’s effectiveness.


  7. Scalability:

    • Future Growth: Ensure that the ESL system can scale with your business needs. Can you add more labels easily as you expand?

    • Flexibility: Assess whether the system can adapt to changes in technology or your business model.


  8. Battery Life and Maintenance:

    • Battery Efficiency: Look for labels with long battery life, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

    • Maintenance Requirements: Understand what maintenance is needed to keep the system running smoothly.


  9. Features and Functionality:

    • Remote Management: Determine if the system allows for remote updates and management of labels.

    • Real-Time Updates: Check if the ESLs can update pricing and information in real time.


  10. Compliance and Standards:

    • Regulatory Compliance: Verify that the supplier adheres to industry standards and regulations relevant to your market.


  11. Trial or Demo:

    • Request a Demo: Before committing, ask for a demonstration or a trial period to test the ESLs in your environment.
