Design shelf tags once — print them right at the store
Build millimetre-precise label templates on the dashboard, then print from the mobile app to networked printers over the store LAN. Product name, price, SKU, real scannable barcodes — clean, consistent, and correct, on demand.
The wrong shelf tag shows up at the worst possible moment
When a price changes, a promotion ends, or a delivery lands, the shelf tag has to change with it. Too often it doesn't. Stores wait on a print run from head office, improvise with a marker and a sticker, or run a separate labeling system that never quite matches the catalog. The result is mismatched prices, unscannable barcodes, and a scramble every time something moves.
Stale tags
Prices change in the system, but the tag on the shelf still shows the old number — eroding trust at the checkout.
Waiting on head office
Every new tag means a request, a batch, and a wait, so shelves stay wrong until the next print run finally arrives.
A system that doesn't match
A separate labeling tool keeps its own product list, so names, prices, and barcodes drift away from your real catalog.
A visual designer on the dashboard, a printer in every aisle
Visual template designer
Lay out labels on the dashboard by eye — drag in fields, shapes, and images and position everything to the millimetre. What you design is exactly what prints.
Real scannable barcodes
Drop live barcodes onto any template — SKU or UPC — that scan cleanly at the register and on any handheld, not just a picture of a barcode.
Print from the floor
Associates print straight from the mobile app on any iOS or Android device — pick a product, pick a template, and the tag comes out at the nearest printer.
Networked store printers
Labels go to printers on the store LAN over Wi-Fi — no cables, no dedicated workstation. Printer settings are configured per store, so each location just works.
Design it once, print it anywhere in the store
Templates live on the dashboard, so a layout you build once is ready for every associate on the floor. Reprint a tag the moment a price changes or a delivery is received — no separate labeling system, and no call to head office.
See it in actionFits the labels and printers you already run
Different stores run different hardware. AisleOptix drives thermal label printers with ZPL for crisp, high-volume shelf tags, and produces PDF output for the standard office and network printers a location may already have. Configure it once per store, and every associate prints to the right device without thinking about it.
ZPL & PDF output
Send ZPL to thermal label printers, or PDF to standard office and network printers — whichever each store runs.
Per-store printer settings
Each location keeps its own printer configuration, so associates simply pick a template and print.
Shapes, images & fields
Combine text fields, barcodes, logos, and shapes on a single template to match your shelf-edge and promotional formats.
Label printing questions
How do I design a label template in AisleOptix?
You build templates visually on the AisleOptix dashboard. Drag in the fields you need — product name, price, SKU, a scannable barcode — along with shapes and images, and position every element to the millimetre. The layout you see on screen is exactly what prints on the shelf tag.
How do stores actually print labels?
Associates print from the AisleOptix mobile app on any iOS or Android device. They pick a product and a template, and the label prints to a networked printer on the store LAN — no desktop, no cables, and no dedicated print station.
What printers and label formats does AisleOptix support?
AisleOptix sends ZPL to thermal label printers for crisp, high-volume shelf tags, and produces PDF output for standard office and network printers. Printer settings are configured per store, so each location prints to the right device automatically.
Can I print a new tag right after a price change?
Yes. Because templates live on the dashboard and pull from your catalog, you can reprint a correct, up-to-date tag on demand — right after a price change or a receiving run — without waiting on a separate labeling system or a request to head office.
