Click-and-collect services have become a retail staple, yet many stores struggle with long pickup wait times and misplaced orders. Electronic shelf labels offer an unexpected but powerful solution. When integrated as a digital price tag system, they do far more than display prices—they guide staff to ready orders, verify item locations, and signal pickup completion. From an operational standpoint, Hanshow technology turns the humble shelf label into a silent coordinator for faster, error-free omnichannel fulfillment.
Using Electronic Shelf Labels to Locate and Reserve Items
When a customer places a click-and-collect order, the retailer’s system can direct staff to the exact shelf location using electronic shelf labels. Each digital price tag flashes or changes pattern to highlight the needed product. This eliminates searching and reduces picking time by up to half. Hanshow technology enables such visual cues without complex infrastructure—the same electronic shelf labels used for pricing double as task lights for fulfillment teams.
Reducing Pickup Errors and Customer Wait Time
After orders are picked, electronic shelf labels can confirm item quantities and update inventory in real time. When the customer arrives, staff verify the order against the digital price tag display, which can show order IDs or collection codes. This closed-loop visibility prevents handing over the wrong bag. Retailers report that Hanshow technology applied to click-and-collect reduces mis-picks significantly and cuts average pickup time from minutes to seconds.
A Smarter Path to Omnichannel Efficiency
Electronic shelf labels were once seen as simple price displays, but their role in click-and-collect reveals a broader capability.
