Handheld In-Aisle Solutions
Operating critical store management tasks from the aisle is the number one indication of an organization that is using true retail best-practice strategies. Retailers can not improve accuracy, reduce waste, or increase responsiveness without in-aisle execution. In-aisle excellence is the heart-and-soul of the best retailers’ store operations.
Allowing store associates to be productive and complete their work in the aisle also keeps the associates available to interact with customers. In-aisle excellence both improves efficiencies and reduces waste. When a store associate sees a missing sign, if they can immediately produce a sign from the aisle they not only maintain their work flow they also avoid over-producing signs in the back room to prepare for the possibility of a missing sign.
The best in-aisle applications are integrated with other handheld store applications. While this is more complicated to create, there are huge advantages for workflow and efficiency.
In-Aisle Request
An In-Aisle Request of a sign or label application allows a store associate to build a batch of needed signs from the store aisle to later print from a back-office computer and printer. This is the most basic type of in-aisle execution, and can achieve significant efficiencies with a simple solution.
In-Aisle Publishing
In-Aisle Publishing refers to any one of several ways of publishing a sign or label while in the store aisle. This may include:
- In-aisle sign printing with a mobile laser printer
- In-aisle label printing using a portable thermal printer
- A new application of in-aisle publishing systems is to associate a list of item SKUs to publish to digital displays.
