“After the installation, we continue to have support from the Danavation team. I can’t ask for anything more.”
The transition to Digital Smart Labels™ meant that labour was no longer required to update pricing. Price changes were made on the point-of-sale (POS) system and updated onto the digital label. The adoption of this technology was the first step to digital transformation.
“I wanted to come up with the latest and greatest technology and outfit the store as a set-it-and-forget-it, turnkey solution and by introducing these labels was a huge step in this direction,” said Jeff enthusiastically.
The most cost-effective solution
“The transformation was immediate when Danavation installed the Digital Smart Labels™ in the store. The shelves in the North Fork store looked flawless, the store was clean, and the pricing was up to date. Dealing with factors like margin erosion was a thing of the past. The product pricing is updated from a central location on our point of sale system and instantly updated on the bin tag label,” says Jeff.

*The return on investment is calculated by adding the total annual costs associated with updating pricing manually and subtracting the total investment for the Digital Smart Label™ solution. The total annual costs include the cost of the paper label and labour costs associated with updating paper labels on the shelf.
