Walmart to replace paper shelf labels with digital price screens

A roll-out of digital shelf labels will allow the retailer to update prices on over 120,000 items within minutes.

According to a recent Reuters story by Siddharth Cavale, paper shelf price labels are going away at thousands of Walmart stores. The retailer has announced an expanded roll-out of digital shelf labels that will allow it to update prices on over 120,000 items within minutes.

Cavale reports that weekly updates to paper shelf labels typically took a store worker about two days. With digital labels, Cavale says, prices can be updated within two minutes after a few clicks through a mobile app for workers called Me@Walmart.

“The new labels are small square screens that look very much like the paper labels they will replace. They will also enable workers to pick products for online order fulfillment faster, the company said in a statement,” reveals Cavale.

The digital shelf tags will appear on shelves at 2,300 stores by 2026, Cavale reports.
