Electronic shelf labels, often called digital labels, help pharmacies and medical supply stores keep shelf prices accurate without printing and swapping paper tags. Prices change from a dashboard and reach the shelf in seconds.
Now rolling out at Maxim Medical. We're switching Maxim Medical, a medical supply retailer with stores in Windsor and Tecumseh, Ontario, to digital labels. The first store is nearly finished, with the second to follow.
Why is pricing hard in a pharmacy or medical supply store?
These stores carry a wide mix: vitamins, personal care, and over-the-counter products in the front shop, plus mobility aids, braces, compression garments, ostomy supplies, bathroom safety products, and beds, many of them in several sizes. Customers expect accuracy from a health care business, and on higher-priced items, a pricing mistake gets expensive.
Where do digital labels help pharmacies and medical supply stores?
- Front-shop promotions. Set sale prices from the dashboard and switch back when the promotion ends.
- Supplier price changes. Import a new price list from a spreadsheet and every affected label updates in seconds.
- Lot numbers and expiry dates. Show them alongside the price on products where dates matter.
- Products in many sizes. Give each size of a compression garment, brace, or ostomy supply its own clear label.
- Floor models. Larger labels, up to 7.5 inches, give mobility aids and beds a clear price with room for product details.
- QR codes. Link customers to sizing guides or product information while they shop.
Accessories are available based on your type of shelves, so every label fits properly and looks professional.
Pharmacy and medical supply questions
Can digital labels show expiry dates and lot numbers?
Yes. Label layouts are fully customizable, and a label can show lot numbers and expiry dates alongside the price and product name.
What label sizes work for larger products?
Labels range from 1.5 to 7.5 inches. Larger labels cost more, so your quote can pair large labels on floor models with smaller labels on standard shelves.
Do digital labels work with pharmacy POS systems?
Prices can be updated from the dashboard, imported by spreadsheet, or connected to many POS systems. We confirm compatibility with your system during the quote.
