Estate-wide shelf label pricing
Price changes from the pricing system are pushed to electronic shelf labels across branches in one batch. Each label confirms the update, and mismatches with POS prices are flagged for correction.
Smart Retail
Margin is decided on the shop floor, and reported from head office three weeks later.
Shelves, pricing, cabinets and store conditions connected across every branch — so availability, waste and pricing are managed while they can still be changed.
- Built for
- Store operations, pricing and category teams
- Connects
- Shelf labels, cabinets, sensors and POS
- Deploys
- Sovereign cloud, private cloud or on-site
/ The shift /
What is actually happening today — and what changes.
Flip between the operation as it runs now and the operation once the data is joined up.
- 01Price changes take days.
And they are wrong somewhere in the estate for most of that time.
- 02Availability is checked by walking.
Gaps are found by staff who have other jobs to do.
- 03Cabinet failures are found by smell.
Or by a customer.
/ How it works /
From signal to decision in four moves.
Each step runs on the shared IoT Cube foundation, so nothing here is a separate system to maintain.
- 1
Connect every branch
Shelf labels, cabinet probes, shelf sensors and footfall counters report through store gateways into one estate-wide registry.
- 2
Tie devices to the product
Labels, shelves and cabinets are linked to SKUs, planograms and branches, using product and price data from ERP and POS.
- 3
Decide what needs attention
Rules compare shelf state, sales and conditions with what should be there, and rank gaps, pricing mismatches and cabinet faults.
- 4
Act in the store
Tasks go to the branch team’s device, prices push to labels, and completion is confirmed back to head office.
/ What you get /
Capability, not just visibility.
Shelf availability and planogram checks
Weight sensors, shelf cameras and POS sales are compared with the planogram. Empty facings and wrong placements raise tasks for the branch team.
Cabinet and cold-room monitoring
Probes in display cabinets and back-of-house cold rooms report continuously. Temperature drift or defrost failures alert the branch and maintenance contractor before stock is lost.
Footfall, movement and dwell
Door counters and anonymised camera analytics measure footfall and dwell by zone, so layout and staffing can be compared with sales.
One console for every branch
Branches, devices and templates are managed centrally with role-based access, so a rollout or price change runs across the estate without store visits.
Waste, shrink and availability reports
Cabinet incidents, write-offs, shelf gaps and stock availability are reported per branch and category, so head office manages by exception.
/ Use cases /
Where teams put it to work first.
Run an estate-wide promotion
Push price changes to shelf labels across branches in one batch, and confirm which labels updated before trading starts.
Save stock in failing cabinets
Alert the branch manager when a display cabinet drifts, and log temperatures, actions and write-offs against it.
Fix recurring shelf gaps
Compare shelf sensors with sales and planograms, and send replenishment tasks to the branch at the right time of day.
Compare branch performance
Report waste, availability, energy and task completion per branch, so head office manages the estate by exception.
/ Benefits by team /
Every team gets a different answer from the same record.
01
Store operations
Branch teams receive specific tasks with the evidence attached, instead of walking the floor to find problems.
02
Commercial
Shelf and till agree when a price or promotion changes, and pricing accuracy can be checked across the estate.
03
Quality
Cabinet and cold-room temperatures are logged continuously, ready for food-safety and municipal inspections.
04
IT
Labels, sensors and POS connect through store gateways and open APIs, with updates queued when a store goes offline.
/ In practice /
What it looks like on an ordinary Tuesday.
Three moments where the platform earns its place. Scenarios are illustrative.
The signal
Category sets a Thursday-evening promotion on dairy across every branch in the Riyadh region.
- 1
The new prices flow from the pricing system to the platform.
- 2
Labels update across the branches and each confirms the change.
- 3
Two stores with offline gateways are flagged and fixed before opening.
The outcome
Shelf and till agree when the promotion starts.
/ Technology /
Four layers. One record underneath.
Device-neutral at the bottom, open at the top, and sovereign all the way through.

/ What you measure /
Numbers that replace arguments.
The indicators this solution produces continuously, per asset, per site and per contract.
Price accuracy
Share of labels whose displayed price matches the POS price at a given time.
Price change completion
Time from a price decision to confirmed display on every label in the estate.
On-shelf availability
Share of planned facings with stock present, by branch, category and time of day.
Cabinet time out of range
Minutes each cabinet or cold room spent outside its temperature limits.
Waste and write-offs
Stock written off from temperature incidents or expiry, by branch and category.
Task completion time
Time from a store task being raised to staff marking it done.
/ Rollout /
Start with one decision. Scale what works.
- Phase 1
Review estate and priorities
We look at branch formats, pricing frequency, cold product and existing devices, and agree whether pricing, cabinets or availability comes first.
- Phase 2
Fit out pilot branches
A small set of representative branches is equipped and connected to POS, ERP and pricing data.
- Phase 3
Prove it in the store
Price changes, cabinet alerts and shelf tasks run through real trading, and branch and head office teams confirm the workflow holds.
- Phase 4
Roll out branch by branch
Remaining branches are added in waves using the same templates and rules. Weeks, not quarters, per wave.

Your cloud or site
Deploy into a sovereign cloud, your private cloud or on-premises without becoming a different product.

/ Questions /
Frequently asked.
How many branches before this makes sense?
The economics improve with estate size, but the operational case is strongest wherever pricing changes often or cold product is held.
Does it replace our POS?
No. It connects to it.
Which shelf label brands do you work with?
The platform manages labels through the vendor’s base stations or APIs rather than locking you to one supplier. Tell us what you have or are evaluating and we will confirm it.
Do Arabic and English prices display correctly?
Label templates are driven by your product data, so bilingual names and prices come from the same source as the POS. We validate the templates on your chosen labels during the pilot.
Can cabinet records be used for food-safety inspections?
Cabinet and cold-room temperatures are logged continuously with alarms and actions attached. Reporting can be mapped to your SFDA and municipal inspection requirements, which we confirm with you.
What happens if a store loses its internet connection?
Store gateways buffer readings and queue label updates, then sync when the link returns. Nothing is lost, and head office can see which stores are behind.
