Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL)
Electronic Shelf Labels
Control shelf prices centrally – with ZKONG and Rivano
Electronic shelf labels replace paper price tags on the shelf. You manage prices, promotions and product information centrally and send them wirelessly to the labels – in one store or in many. STiNO supplies ZKONG ESL hardware together with the Rivano platform, where you manage price labels, shelf displays and digital signage screens in one place.
- ePaper price labels from 2.9 to 10.2 inches
- 4- and 6-colour displays for promotions and brand colours
- Integration with ERP and merchandise management systems via the ZKONG platform
- Hosting in Germany or on-premises
- Consulting, pilot and rollout from a single source
Rivano Platform
One system for price labels, shelf displays and screens
In Rivano you design labels with the same tools as your screen content: text, images, prices and QR codes. Approved content is assigned directly to price labels and ZKONG LCD shelf displays. Before every publication, Rivano checks readability and shows a preview in the actual resolution and colour palette of each label.
- Preview in the native resolution and colour palette of the label
- Automatic check: text that is too small, overlapping or clipped is detected before sending
- Approval workflow: only checked content reaches the hardware
- LCD shelf displays with image and video playback and operating hours
- Status per device in the CMS: assigned, sent, confirmed

Frequently asked questions about electronic shelf labels
What are electronic shelf labels (ESL)?
ESL are digital price labels with an ePaper display that are mounted on the shelf. Prices and information are changed centrally and transmitted wirelessly – no more printing and swapping paper labels by hand.
Which industries are electronic shelf labels suitable for?
Grocery and specialist retail, drugstores, DIY stores, pharmacies and electronics stores – but also warehouses, production sites and offices, for example as storage location or room labels.
Can ESL be connected to my merchandise management system?
Yes. The ZKONG platform provides interfaces for taking prices and product data from ERP and merchandise management systems. We will clarify which integration suits your system in a consultation.
Can I start small?
Yes. We recommend a pilot in one store or department. You can then expand step by step – with the same hardware and the same platform.
Where is the data stored?
Rivano is hosted in Germany or runs on your own servers (on-premises).
Can I manage price labels and screens together?
Yes. In Rivano you manage electronic shelf labels, LCD shelf displays, digital signage, menu boards and queue calling systems in one interface.
