Pharmacy Shelf Labels and Price Tags Are Going Digital

The VusionCloud Retail IoT Platform redefines the rules of pharmacy shelf labels. By centralizing shelf labeling and product pricing, the solution allows retailers to offer a heightened experience for their customers while streamlining processes and lowering costs. Here’s how this new generation of pharmacy price tags can transform your store.

What Are Digital Shelf Labels and How Do They Work in Pharmacies?

Digital pharmacy shelf labels – or electronic pharmacy price tags – are a cutting-edge version of the traditional paper price tags you still find on the shelves of many stores. Unlike their paper counterparts – which need to be replaced manually anytime the information they contain requires an update – digital labels can be updated on the fly, remotely, and in real-time. Installing a network of electronic labels in your store also lets you refresh the information displayed automatically, thanks to a powerful software solution.

The VusionCloud Retail IoT Platform allows store owners to make the most out of their pharmacy shelf labels. Prices and promotions are updated instantly, store activities are monitored in real-time, and customers can access more detailed information than ever.
