ESL plays a crucial role in the Retail 4.0 transformation, providing instant and dynamic pricing updates based on the inventory and marketing status of retail products. Adoption of ESL reduces human error associated with traditional pricing and product labeling methods, enabling retail staff to spend more time providing customer service, increasing customer satisfaction and encouraging repeat and increased sales.

Retailers; we hear your heart!

To accelerate the uptake of and so enjoy the benefits of the IoT based Retail 4.0 environment, M2COMM ESL Fresher Packs are designed to be setup and deployed easily and quickly. After integration with the on-site POS system, ESL operates behind the scenes, running quickly and efficiently to predetermined criteria appropriate to the retail outlet it is installed for. A wide and diverse group of retailers from around the world have recognized M2COMM’s ESL quality-proven, robust and reliable features:

“I am so surprised that M2COMM’s ESL system only took me less than an hour to set up via the Quick Installation Guide. With its stable and reliable operation, adopting this system saves at least 40% of our time and hence significantly improves store performance,” said Taylor Chan, owner of Po San Frozen Food Limited in Hong Kong.

“Digital price tag solution is a fairly new concept for the Indian retail sector,” says Sanjay Garg from Maxworth Electronic Systems in New Delhi. “India is home to 22 scheduled languages with mostly their own script. M2COMM’s ESL can display in local language/scripts and English/Hindi, which provides us an essential tool to connect well with the local clients.”

“As we need to be flexible in our pricing strategies, pricing optimization must be real-time; M2COMM’s ESL has been smoothly integrated into our POS system and we can adopt it very soon. With its stable and reliable operation, I can do just one click to get all the prices sorted.” says Mr. Fabien Sublet, owner of Pharmacy Ibis, French Guiana. “Also, the functionality I like most from M2COMM’s ESL system is the benefit for real-time stock management; it allows pharmacists to know if it is time to place a new order on products or just to supply from the stock. We love it so much.”

“We are committed to helping our customers enjoy the convenience of Retail 4.0 with the latest IoT technology,” says Dr. Derrick Wei, CEO of M2COMM.“We hope the M2COMM ESL Fresher Packs, at only US$1,500, will attract more retailers to experience our reliable and value-added functions.”
