Freezer-ready electronic shelf labels for one of America's largest grocery wholesalers

C&S is one of the largest wholesale grocery supply companies in the US. In grocery, price changes are constant, and every paper label is a job for someone with a printer and a ladder. A wrong price at the shelf costs margin and trust. Off-the-shelf ESLs were built for warm aisles and short battery budgets. Grocery needs labels that survive freezers and keep going for years.

ThingsX ESLs are our own hardware and software, end to end. The cloud renders each label from a template, compresses it and sends it through in-store gateways. The label decompresses the image and draws it on its e-paper screen. There are two families: Lite, the lowest-cost label with display, LED and updates, and Pro, a feature-loaded label for demanding aisles. Both come in sizes from 1.54 to 10 inches. The ThingsX Console tracks every label's battery, updates and errors, and a store installer app is being built for the rollout.
