Price labels, click and collect and RFID
By Julian Goldsmith, 8 October 2008 10:59
The Esel demonstration at Hursley is designed to show how labels can be integrated with the wider store system and updated through a variety of channels. Here, one of the technicians is scanning a bottle of wine into the system and then altering the price on the label through the scanner.

Managing a storage system has become a costly and complicated task. The direct labour cost associated with its management is increasing. In addition, organizations incur hidden indirect costs due to slow responsiveness, ineffective utilization, and inflexibility. This paper discusses how the IBM XIV Storage System's revolutionary built-in virtualization architecture provides a way to drastically reduce the costs of managing storage systems.
Getting the balance right between meeting the inbound call expectations of busy customers and optimising telecoms costs is the goal for many ICT managers. Technology now enables far more powerful and flexible contact centre platforms to be created without the capital outlay required for conventional systems.
The ability to leverage location intelligence was critical to the successful rollout of our 3G network as it enabled us to identify potential customers and where they would likely use our enhanced third generation services. As our decision making process was much more informed by location-based data, we could build our network in areas that will serve our customers most effectively.

Can we have an option to show all the photos on one page,
takes way too long to click through 17 photos!

With prices being able to change dynamically, my fear would be that I pick something off the shelf at price 'y' and when I get to the till without realising it the price has been updated and now I am paying price 'x'. Customers could lose confidence feeling that they were losing out.
This would also be confusing to say the least. There was no comment about how this would be controlled. One easy solution would be to only update the prices over night or something.

A great idea. BUT....this is the UK? This may sound a silly comment at first but no doubt these labels will regularly be pulled off the shelves, trodden on and generally mistreated and abused. So thanks to the 'great' British shopper, who treats anything that is not theirs with absolute distain, there will be little or no advantage.
