Our Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) help to create shopping experiences that are more engaging, rewarding and personalised.
We help retailers optimise sales and margin at the shelf-edge, where 90% of purchases are still made.
Displaydata is the leader in the design and supply of fully graphic Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs).
We were first to market with three-colour ESLs and continue to lead this category, having shipped millions of labels.
We work in close partnership with many of the world’s largest retail brands and have operations in the US, Europe, LATAM and Asia. We help retailers optimise revenues and margins by improving the customer experience at the shelf-edge, where most purchasing decisions are made.
Displaydata’s ESLs, with the option of integrated NFC, enable retailers to control and drive in-store pricing and promotions with speed, agility and consistency.
Fully graphic and available in three colours, the ESLs can display product, price, promotion, stock levels, social reviews, currency details and much more.
Displaydata’s ESLs are part of an architecture designed in partnership with retailers to be enterprise ready. The trusted platform is simple to install and needs the least amount of in-store hardware of any vendor.
The wireless network is secure, and the robust software enables the management of any number of ESLs, across any number of stores, using a single server instance.
Our ESLs
The world’s best Electronic Shelf Labels. Run by a truly enterprise-class solution using only a single server instance. Our labels are recognised as being the brightest, sharpest and having the most consistent colours available.
