Infinity POS
Shelf labels and barcode labels from the item file
Infinity's price-change workflow can print labels when a scheduled price update is applied. Infinity Labels can also use alternate sell prices for comparative pricing on printed labels.
Specified against how the store runs. Nationwide remote implementation.
How do shelf labels stay in step with POS prices?
Infinity's Add Price Change function includes an option to print labels for the updated price. Where Infinity Labels is used, alternate sell prices can also be printed for comparative pricing. That gives the store a documented path from a price change in the stock record to the labels that need to be replaced.
The other half is barcode labels: anything that arrives without a scannable code has to get one, or it slows every lane it passes through.
- Labels print from the item fileA second source of prices is a second set of prices.
- Changes print as a batchA price change should not be an evening of typing.
- Barcode labels keep lanes movingAn unscannable item is a manual lookup at the till.
- Weighed items usually label themselvesIn deli and produce the scale prints it.
Which label printer or stock suits a store depends on the specific hardware, and no compatibility claim is made here. Labels for weighed items normally come from the scale rather than from a label printer.
What it does
What gets printed, and from where
Shelf edges, products, and the things sold by weight.
Shelf-edge price labels
Price-change records can be set to print labels when the updated price is applied.
Barcode labels for products
Barcode scanning and labelsSo everything that reaches a lane can be scanned.
Weighed items
ScalesInfinity supports Scale items whose value is generated by the connected weighing device; tare can be configured where container weight must be removed.

Who relies on it
Who relies on printed labels
Any store with prices on the shelf needs them to match the register. These trades show where labels fit the rest of the system.
Grocery stores

Liquor stores

Where labeling goes wrong
-
The shelf price disagrees with the till
The customer is right at the register and the margin is gone.
Labels print from the same item file the register reads.
-
A price change takes all evening
It gets deferred, and the shelf stays wrong.
Batch printing from the change list.
-
Items arrive without a barcode
Every one of them is a manual lookup at the lane.
Barcode labels printed in the back office before it reaches the shelf.
Barcode scanning and labels -
Labels are typed by hand
Typos become pricing errors nobody catches.
The item file is the source, so the label cannot say something the system does not.
Item file setup
In a demo
What to ask to see in a label printing demo
Ask for these in a demo, using a price change like the ones your store makes.
One change, a batch of labels
Ask to see a price change made once and printed as a batch of shelf labels from the record the register reads.
An item with no barcode
Ask to see a barcode label printed from the item file and scanned at the register.
Labels after a cost change
Purchase ordersAsk to see the labels for lines whose price changed after a new cost was received.
Labeling questions
Where do the prices on a printed label come from?
From the item file the register rings against, which is the point: the shelf cannot contradict the till when both read the same record.
Can I print a batch after a price change?
Yes. Printing the change list as a batch is what makes regular price changes practical.
What about items sold by weight?
Those are normally labeled by the scale that weighs them, so the label printer handles shelf edges and packaged product.
Which label printer do I need?
It depends on what you label and where. We specify it against the job rather than recommending a model from a page.
Tell us what you label and how often
Shelf edges, packaged product, weighed items, and how often prices move. That is enough to specify the labeling.
