Industries we power
Built for high-volume retail operations
A closer look at the formats and categories AirBiz is built for — and what it changes on the floor.
AirESL
Retail Chains
Smarter shelves, every aisle.
Real-time pricing across thousands of SKUs.
Large retail chains operate at a scale where every minute of stale pricing means lost margin and customer trust. AirESL replaces paper tags with networked electronic shelf labels that update in seconds — from the back-office or directly from your ERP. Promotions, markdowns, and competitive repricing reach every aisle at the same time, with full audit trails. The result is consistent pricing across thousands of SKUs, fewer customer disputes at the checkout, and store associates freed from manual label printing and replacement to focus on service.
Supermarkets
Run the floor in real time.
From inventory to pricing — one connected operation.
Supermarkets juggle perishables, promotions, and high foot traffic on razor-thin margins. AirBiz unifies pricing, inventory, and POS into a single operating layer, so what happens at the shelf is reflected in stock counts, replenishment, and reporting instantly. Managers see live sell-through by category, trigger price changes for slow-moving stock in one click, and rebalance promotions across stores without leaving the platform. One connected operation — every aisle, every register, every store.
AirESL
AirESL
pharmacy
Pharmacy and Healthcare.
Dynamic labels for every perishable.
Pharmacies and healthcare retailers operate under stricter conditions than almost any other category. Prices must match insurance and reimbursement codes. Inventory must be traceable. Promotions are limited and regulated. And every error at the shelf has consequences that extend beyond margin. Air Business Solutions ESL is engineered for that reality, with the accuracy, integration, and control that pharmacy operations demand.
Convenience
Built for high-velocity SKUs.
Convenience formats live and die by speed: fast restocks, fast checkout, and prices that match the moment. AirBiz is tuned for compact footprints and high-velocity SKUs — beverages, snacks, tobacco, lottery — with quick category-level repricing and a POS that handles age verification, multi-buy promotions, and loyalty in one tap. Run a single store or a national chain on the same backbone.
Convenience
Promotions
Promotions
Specials that update themselves.
Promotional campaigns lose money the moment a shelf label disagrees with the register. With AirBiz, every promotion is authored once in AirERP and pushed simultaneously to ESLs, POS, and digital signage. Schedule start and end times, A/B test pricing by store cluster, and roll back instantly if a campaign underperforms. The shelf, the receipt, and the marketing flyer all tell the same story.

How Parkville Food Center Optimized Inventory Management and Multi-Location Operations with AirWMS and AirERP
Overview
Parkville Food Center is a well-established supermarket in Brooklyn, serving its local community with a wide selection of fresh produce, meats, dairy products, international groceries, and household essentials. As product assortments expanded and customer demand increased, the business sought a smarter way to manage inventory, streamline replenishment, and improve operational visibility across its supply chain.
The challenge
- Inventory data between the backroom, sales floor, and purchasing team was often
updated manually, leading to delays in replenishment. - Fast-moving products frequently sold out while slower-moving items occupied
valuable storage space. - Purchase planning relied on historical reports instead of real-time sales trends and
inventory movement. - Warehouse and stockroom processes lacked standardization, making receiving,
storage, and replenishment less efficient. - Store managers needed better visibility into inventory levels to support faster
operational decisions.
Our Solution
AIR implemented an integrated inventory and warehouse management platform powered
by AirWMS and AirERP.
The deployment included:
- Deployed AirESL across pilot stores with seven-color programmable LEDs on every label.
- Integrated AirESL directly with AirWMS so pick lists trigger shelf-level light cues.
- Rolled out a Task-to-Light workflow for both restocking and online order picking.
- Used sub-second wireless updates to guide staff through the shortest path on the floor.
The results
Following implementation, Parkville Food Center achieved measurable operational
improvements:
- Improved inventory accuracy through real-time stock visibility across warehouse and store operations.
- Reduced overstock and out-of-stock situations by automating replenishment decisions
based on actual demand. - Faster receiving, inventory movement, and stock replenishment workflows.
- Better purchasing decisions supported by live inventory data and sales analytics.

How a Regional Grocer Rolled Out 12,000 Electronic Shelf Labels in Just 30 Days
Overview
A fast-growing regional grocery chain set out to modernize its stores by replacing thousands of paper shelf labels with AIR’s Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) solution. Operating multiple supermarket locations with thousands of SKUs, the retailer faced increasing labor costs, frequent pricing changes, and the constant challenge of maintaining pricing accuracy across every aisle. The objective was simple: eliminate manual price tag replacement, improve operational efficiency, and create a foundation for smarter retail operations—all while completing deployment with minimal disruption to daily business
The challenge
Managing paper shelf labels had become increasingly inefficient as product assortments and promotional campaigns expanded.
The retailer encountered several operational obstacles:
- Store associates spent several hours every week replacing thousands of paper shelf labels after every pricing update.
- Promotional campaigns often required overnight labor to ensure stores opened with correct pricing.
- Manual label replacement increased the risk of pricing discrepancies between shelves and the POS system.
Price verification and compliance audits consumed valuable employee time. - Marketing teams had limited flexibility because promotional pricing had to be scheduled days in advance.
- Customers occasionally encountered mismatched shelf and checkout prices, negatively affecting the shopping experience.
The retailer needed a scalable solution that could automate pricing while supporting future digital merchandising initiatives.
Our approach
AIR implemented a complete Electronic Shelf Label ecosystem across every participating store.
The deployment included:
- Installation of more than 12,000 AIR Electronic Shelf Labels throughout grocery, frozen, produce, dairy, beverage, household, and specialty product departments.
- Seamless integration between AirESL and the retailer’s existing POS and ERP systems, allowing pricing changes to synchronize automatically.
- Real-time wireless communication enabling instant updates to every shelf label from a centralized management platform.
- Automated promotional scheduling so future campaigns could be prepared and activated at precise dates and times.
- Digital templates supporting pricing, promotional badges, QR codes, and product information without requiring printed materials.
- Comprehensive staff training and staged implementation, allowing stores to continue normal operations throughout deployment.
Despite the scale of the project, the entire rollout was completed within 30 days, with virtually no disruption to customers or store operations.
The results
Following deployment, the retailer immediately realized measurable operational
improvements across all locations:
- Store teams no longer spent hours manually replacing paper tags, allowing employees to focus on merchandising, inventory replenishment, and customer service.
- Pricing updates that previously required several hours of labor could now be completed across every store in seconds, ensuring complete consistency between shelf pricing and checkout systems.
- Marketing teams gained the ability to launch promotions instantly across every location, improving campaign execution while reducing operational overhead.
