Wards & room status
Bed availability, cleaning status and next-round times on the door — updated from the nurses’ station, never hand-written again.
AssetNerve builds the full electronic-shelf-label stack — e-paper price tags, a Bluetooth gateway network, and the Vitrine cloud that pushes updates to thousands of labels across every aisle and every branch, instantly.
The problem with paper
Reprinting, cutting and re-slotting paper tickets ties up staff, invites pricing errors, and makes a promotion an all-night job. Electronic labels turn pricing into something you publish — not something you print.
Shelf says one price, the till says another. The customer notices, and trust — and margin — leak away.
A single wrong tag can cost a fine + refundsEvery price change means printing, walking the aisle and swapping tickets by hand — repeated across thousands of facings.
Days of labour per repricing cycleRolls of label stock, toner and laminate — printed, binned and reprinted with the next price change.
Recurring consumable cost, foreverA flash promotion or a competitor price move can't wait for a print run. Slow pricing is lost revenue.
Promotions delayed by daysAssetNerve fixes all four at once. One update in the cloud reaches every shelf label in under a second — accurate, automatic, and zero paper.
Why AssetNerve
We build the whole stack in-house — the device firmware, the rendering pipeline that draws each label, the gateway network, and the cloud. When something needs answering, the people who wrote it pick up the phone.
Push a new price book, a promotion or a full re-template to thousands of tags at once. Schedule it for opening time and the shelves change themselves overnight.
E-paper draws power only when the image changes, then holds it with none at all. Ultra-low-power BLE silicon means one coin cell lasts years, not weeks.
Flash a tag's LED from the cloud and staff walk straight to the right shelf. Pick-to-light turns order-picking and stock-takes into a guided route.
IP67 and IPX7-rated faces survive chillers, freezers and wash-downs. Cold-chain variants run down to −25°C for fresh and frozen aisles.
Head office sets pricing centrally and deploys to branches; each store sees only its own shelves. Role-based access, cookie sessions, full audit trail.
Design a label once and bind fields to live product data — price, name, unit, SKU, barcode, member price. One template drives an entire category.
The tag range
From the smallest 1.54″ jewellery and pharmacy tag to an 11.6″ end-cap sign, the same platform drives them all. Pick a size to see its spec — resolution, colour, and where it fits.

The technology
Electronic ink for a paper-sharp, sunlight-readable image that costs nothing to hold; Bluetooth Low Energy for years of battery life; and a hardened cloud link so a price change is safe end to end.
Paper-like contrast that stays crisp under any store lighting and holds its image with zero power between updates.
Low-energy radio links each tag to a nearby gateway with a 15–60 m reach, so a coin cell can last up to five years.
Select models redraw in about three seconds, so a full-store repricing completes in minutes, not a night shift.
A bright multi-colour LED on each tag flashes on command to guide picking, restocking and price-audit walks.
Sealed faces shrug off wash-downs, condensation and dust — rated for chillers, freezers and wet fresh-food areas.
Low-temperature variants operate from −25°C to 60°C, so the same platform runs the freezer aisle and the bakery.
Tap a tag with a phone to bind it, diagnose it or read its ID — no scanning gun and no manual MAC entry.
Gateways connect outward to the cloud over an encrypted channel — nothing inside your store is ever exposed to the internet.
How it works
The labels are battery-powered and clip to the shelf rail. Only the gateway needs mains power and network — one covers a whole area.
Update a price, swap a template or launch a promotion in the Vitrine web app — from the office, a laptop or a phone.

One mains-powered gateway per area holds a secure, always-on link to the cloud and relays each update to the tags around it over Bluetooth.

Each e-paper tag wakes, redraws the new price in ~3 seconds and sleeps again. The image stays on screen with no power at all.

Where it fits
The same tags, gateways and cloud adapt from a busy supermarket aisle to a sub-zero freezer, a jewellery counter, or a warehouse pick face — and the tabs below are real deployments, not mock-ups.
Keep every facing accurate across dozens of branches, and launch a promotion the moment it’s approved — not the day after.
Waterproof, cold-rated tags survive chillers, freezers and wash-downs — with per-kg pricing and use-by dates right on the shelf edge.
Hang tags and shelf labels that reprice a full season sale across every store in one push — with size, fit and member price on the tag.
Small counter tags that follow the daily gold rate — reprice the whole cabinet the instant the market moves, with SKU and purity on show.
From a small shelf tag to a large promo screen, one platform drives them all — full spec sheets, finance offers and a headline sale board.
Electronic bin and zone labels that re-title themselves when stock moves, and flag the pick — fewer mispicks, faster onboarding.
Beyond the shop floor
A shelf label is just the start. The same tags, gateways and cloud drive ward and room signs, restaurant menus, meeting-room boards and desk plates — anywhere a printed sign goes stale the moment something changes.
Bed availability, cleaning status and next-round times on the door — updated from the nurses’ station, never hand-written again.
Table-top menus that change with the kitchen, and order-ready tags that call the next customer — no printing, no shouting numbers.
The software
Everything the hardware does is driven from a single cloud dashboard: design labels, bind product data, schedule promotions, and watch the health of every tag and gateway in real time.
