Electronic Shelf Label Pricing and Project Cost

Homepage/VyTag/Electronic Shelf Label Pricing and Project Cost

Electronic shelf label pricing is not just a unit price per label. Label quantities and models, gateways, management software, integration, mounting and installation together determine the total project cost.

What Determines Electronic Shelf Label Cost?

Hardware and site

  • Total number of labels and information displays
  • Display size, colour and operating environment
  • Number of gateways required to cover the site
  • Shelf rails, clips, stands and other mounting parts

Software and service

  • VyTag management software and store coverage
  • ERP, POS, API or file integration
  • Installation, template setup and user training
  • Support, warranty and future capacity expansion

Every business has a different shelf layout, label count and integration requirement. Instead of a misleading one-size-fits-all package, the project is quoted item by item from survey data.

How is this calculated?
  • We work out how many labels are replaced by hand over a year.
  • We find how many staff hours those replacements take.
  • Staff cost and printing consumable cost are calculated separately.
  • The two are combined into the annual cost of running labels by hand.

What is included

  • Time to prepare and replace labels
  • Staff cost
  • Paper, toner or other printing consumables

What is not included

  • The project and investment cost of the VyTag system
  • The cost of price differences between shelf and till
  • Wrong or repeated prints
  • Delayed promotions
  • Customer complaints
  • Other indirect costs inside the operation

This calculation is a preliminary assessment based only on the information you enter. It is not a firm project quote or a return-on-investment calculation. Amounts are in the currency you entered.
