Technowave International’s Bahrain team delivered an Electronic Shelf Labels implementation for A&E Shop | African & Eastern, deploying 1,400 ESLs across 6 different models to help the store move from manual price display to a smarter, cleaner, and faster digital pricing experience.
A&E Shop | African & Eastern operates in a retail category where product variety, promotional activity, pricing clarity, and in-store presentation all play an important role in the customer experience. Traditional paper price tags can become difficult to manage when prices, offers, and shelf displays need to be updated regularly across multiple product categories.
To address this, Technowave International Bahrain implemented an Electronic Shelf Labels solution designed to bring smart pricing to the store floor. A total of 1,400 ESLs were deployed using 6 different models, helping the client create a more accurate, consistent, and premium-looking price communication system while reducing the dependency on manual label replacement.
The store required a pricing display system that could improve shelf-level price visibility, reduce manual work, and support faster updates for regular pricing and promotional changes. The solution also needed to look clean and professional in a premium beverage retail environment.
Liquor retail includes a wide mix of product categories, bottle sizes, premium items, seasonal offers, bundle promotions, and frequent pricing requirements. With manual labels, store teams need to spend time printing, checking, placing, and replacing labels whenever a price or offer changes.
Technowave International Bahrain delivered an Electronic Shelf Labels setup designed around the store’s pricing and merchandising needs. The deployment included 1,400 ESLs across 6 different models, selected to support different shelf areas, product displays, and customer viewing requirements across the retail environment.
The solution was planned to support product pricing, promotional visibility, and store team usability. Templates can be configured to show key product and pricing information clearly, while price updates can be managed through a structured digital workflow instead of manual paper replacement.
The project covered 1,400 electronic shelf labels, giving the store broad digital pricing coverage across key shelf and product display areas.
Different ESL models were used to match display size, product category, shelf format, and customer visibility needs across the liquor retail environment.
The project was implemented by Technowave International’s Bahrain team, with local installation, coordination, training, and support for the store team.
“This project shows how smart shelf pricing can improve accuracy, reduce manual work, and create a more modern retail experience for specialty stores.”
The project followed a structured rollout approach to ensure the 1,400 ESLs, 6 model types, templates, pricing data, and store layout were aligned before handover.
The Technowave Bahrain team reviewed the store layout, product categories, shelf areas, and display requirements to plan label placement and coverage.
Product and pricing display requirements were aligned so the labels could show clear customer-facing information in a consistent format.
The 1,400 digital shelf labels were installed, mapped, and paired with the relevant products or shelf locations to support accurate shelf-level display.
Technowave validated label display, update behavior, and store-readiness before handing over the solution with operational guidance to the store team.
The value of the implementation is visible in both daily operations and customer experience. By digitizing shelf price communication, the store can improve pricing discipline while creating a more modern and reliable shopping environment.
Store teams can reduce time spent printing, cutting, placing, and replacing paper price labels during pricing and promotion changes.
Digital shelf-level updates help reduce mismatch risk between the displayed shelf price and the store’s billing or pricing workflow.
Clear and consistent price display helps shoppers identify prices and offers more easily, supporting a smoother purchase decision.
This installation demonstrates that Electronic Shelf Labels are not limited to supermarkets or electronics stores. With 1,400 ESLs across 6 different models, the project shows how specialty retailers with premium products, active promotions, and frequent pricing requirements can also benefit from smart digital shelf pricing.
For Bahrain’s retail market, the project is a practical example of how local stores can modernize operations without compromising the in-store customer experience.
Technowave International Bahrain supported the project from planning to implementation, including store coordination, deployment of 1,400 ESLs, system readiness, validation, and handover.
