everyday decisions.
Consider the materials a store uses, the people who run it, and the processes that keep information dependable.
Social
People & store experience
Give teams a clearer process for price changes and more time for customers. Plan training, readable label layouts and checks that shelf information matches the intended price.
Governance
Accountability & documentation
Define who approves changes, who can publish them and how exceptions are handled. Review manufacturer documentation together with your security and procurement teams.

Match the environment
Choose displays and mounting for your shelf dimensions, temperature range, viewing needs and update frequency.
Cover the lifecycle
Include installation, staff training, battery replacement, damaged labels and responsible collection in the rollout plan.
Measure the change
Compare your recorded baseline with actual operation after launch. Use that evidence to guide the next store.
Questions for responsible procurement.
Is this Retail Digitals' own ESG report?
The linked report is published by Sunparl/ZKONG, the manufacturer whose products we distribute. Retail Digitals can help you relate the available documentation to the products and deployment you are considering.
How much paper or energy will our store save?
The result depends on your current printing volume, chosen equipment, update schedule and service life. Start with a store-specific baseline; the manufacturer figures above are not a forecast of your savings.
What should we plan for batteries and retired labels?
Identify the model's battery and service requirements before ordering. Include a suitable battery and electronics collection route in your operating plan, and discuss the available product guidance with our team.
