Retail Barcode Systems
When it comes to the crazy world of retail, various factors can play a decisive role in the success, or failure, of a retail outlet. Whether a shop is part of a franchise or a privately owned entrepreneurship, people want a good experience when shopping there. Retail stores employ retail barcode systems to ensure that every single item is correctly priced. Such a system can determine prices more accurately than hand-written prices or any other system.
With a barcode system, you can easily determine the prices of certain items before purchasing as well. There are various scan points available in retail outlets that can inform the customer of the specific item’s price before they head to the pay point. The concept is simple. Barcodes have the ability to generate endless combinations, and ensure that every single code is unique and allocated to specific items available in store.
If you are the owner of a retail store, and are looking for retail barcode system solutions, Teraoka offers a couple of options that can help you with accurate pricing, but also speed up the process of purchase. Today, we will have a closer look at these systems, which will give you a comprehensive idea of what to expect from them, and how they can make a positive difference in your retail outlet.
Teraoka’s Solutions to Retail Barcode Systems
A term that gets used frequently regarding retail barcode systems, is PLU. This term refers to price look-up, which plays a vital role in the retail sector. It gives the customer a viable and accurate method of ensuring that the prices on the items they wish to buy are correct, before checking out.
Our first digital signage retail barcode system is the e.Label. It offers a high-contrast display that is innovative and easy to use for PLU purposes. With integrated Hi-Touch functionality, the e.Label acts as a remote PLU preset key. It allows your customers to look up prices, without having to ask for assistance, or having a change of mind when checking out at a pay point.
Once tapped, the e.Label can automatically send price information on certain items to digital computer-based self-service scales within your retail store, making the process for a customer much faster and more accessible, without the need to employ the help of one of your employees.
This retail barcode system will always be in sync with your pricing. You can also do quick price changes, without having to manually upload the data to the e.Label system. As a result, your e.Label system will always be up to date with all the latest prices for your products and items in store, ensuring that your customers can always trust the PLU system when shopping at your store.
Our second option brings us to the InfoCard. This handy device offers wireless transmission with a high-contrast display, to enhance the ease of reading the information. With easy installation and long battery life, you will grant your customers an effective method of PLU while shopping, as well as accurate price readings, low battery consumption, and reduced paper usage, which makes this retail barcode system eco-friendly and easy to implement.
This system can serve as an expansion to your current system as well. It has a customisable display to suit your preferences and optimise customer experience. In the end, retail barcode systems are not only used for accurate product pricing, but also an enhanced shopping experience. They give your customers the information they need to make informed shopping decisions regarding the products and items they wish to acquire.
Both these systems can elevate your retail store to the next level, and allow for ease of management regarding your current retail barcode system. They give you viable options to take your store into the digital era of PLU, and add accessibility to the product prices in store.
