This efficiency means we can spend more time assisting customers and less time on repetitive tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The digital shelf labels also make it easier to locate items on a shelf, whether it be a product that needs to be restocked or an item for an online order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course with a new pricing system comes some concern.
