Unifying the Management of Print and Digital Signage with ECS5 Can Cut Costs for Retail Stores
A study by Nucleus Research Inc. found that retail stores that unified the management of their print and digital signage under ECS5 increased employee productivity and reduced operational costs.
CHICAGO, June 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The residual effects of the pandemic and current economic conditions are putting more pressure on retail stores and other businesses to find ways to cut costs. Retail stores can effectively cut costs and increase employee productivity by consolidating the management of print and digital signage under a single solution like ECS5.
Brick and mortar retail stores use a blend of physical print signage and digital signage and displays throughout their stores to communicate with their customers and drive sales. Many stores use different systems to manage each type of signage. However, Nucleus discovered that there is considerable overlap in the functionality of these systems. Modern signage systems like ECS5 from ECS Global Inc. allow retail stores to manage both types of signage within a single system that consolidates the capabilities of both systems.
Nucleus interviewed multiple customers using ECS5 to discover the benefits of consolidating the management of print and digital signage. They found that businesses that made the switch immediately experienced cost savings. By managing print and digital signage from one system, they eliminated the cost of subscriptions and licensing for a second system. Reducing the management of print and digital signage down to one system also reduced their IT burden as managing two systems could double the IT workload.
The other major benefit for ECS customers is that they increased productivity and aligned communication channels, which reduced operational costs. Using two systems requires separate software and databases which creates silos and makes it more difficult to ensure consistent messaging. ECS customers were able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars by avoiding displaying out-of-date or conflicting pricing and promotional information that leads to giving discounts. ECS5 also allows head offices to manage the digital and print signage from a centralized location, giving store employees more time to focus on providing customer service.
