"The customers looked at other ESL implementations in Singapore and realized they need a more featured system. A system that can support different formats of merchandizing and marketing policies with scrolling text messages to the customers and unique shelf talkers. We are glad they found all this with Pricer's system” says Tan Kai Ming, the president of ELSE, Pricer’s partner in Singapore.
