Updates from Retail Digitals — product launches, new tools, content drops, and US-retail commentary. We update this page when there's something real to share, not on a fixed schedule.
Retail Digitals launches a complete buyer toolkit: glossary, integrations guide, install how-tos, partner ecosystem map
We pushed a comprehensive content expansion this week: a 50-term ESL glossary with brand-specific product names from every major vendor, a detailed POS & ERP integrations guide, six in-depth install guides covering everything from the first-label deployment to gateway placement and POS sync, and a transparent partner ecosystem page. The goal: every question a US ESL buyer asks during evaluation should be answerable on this site, without a sales call.

The Quantum Series is ZKong's latest BWRY four-color ESL, designed around an ultra-narrow bezel for maximum screen-to-body ratio. Five sizes ship to US customers from RD inventory: 2.3", 2.8", 3.1", 3.5", and 4.2". Battery life is rated at 10 years on a single 1200 mAh coin cell. NFC tap-for-info is supported across the line.

Two free tools added: an interactive ROI calculator that estimates payback for an ESL deployment based on store count, SKU count, and labor costs, and a side-by-side comparison of 192 ESL products across ZKong, SoluM, Vusion, Hanshow, and Pricer. No registration walls. Both tools update as new products are released.
