The core benefit

Produce shop price labels without duplicate work

The biggest time drain in a small shop isn't the label itself. It's typing the same product information again and again — into a Word label, a spreadsheet, an email to the supplier and a note for staff. When the product only exists in one place, the change follows automatically.

  • The same product data produces labels in A4, A3 and shelf format
  • Promotion labels are generated together when the offer changes
  • Product sheets and internal information build on the same data
  • QR codes can link through to product information or guidance
  • Where relevant, the content can also appear on the website
  • Change the price or text once, and it's changed everywhere

Possibilities

The retail system brings together products, promotions and daily tasks

Below are the areas small shops most often ask for. What gets set up for you depends on your shop — several of these are modules that are set up and tailored to your daily operations.

  • Products set up in one place

    Product code, name, price, previous price, description and image are held on the product. No copying between spreadsheets and documents when the price or text changes.

  • Labels in fixed layouts

    A4 and A3 labels, shelf labels and promotion labels are generated from the product information in fixed layouts, so labels look the same every time — without re-entering data.

  • Promotions and offers

    Mark products as promotional items with a period, and generate the labels together when the promotion changes. A clear overview of what's running when.

  • QR codes on labels

    QR codes can be set up on labels and link through to product information, a manual, a video, a booking, an offer or a relevant webpage, where relevant to the product.

  • Staff portal

    Staff, contact details, documents, a handbook, instructions and internal news gathered in one place, so new staff can quickly find answers themselves.

  • Tasks and shop checks

    Change promotion labels, check the display, restock the window, verify pricing — with an owner, deadline and status, so the task doesn't live on a note by the till.

  • Opening and closing routines

    Fixed checklists for opening, closing, cleaning, goods receipt and security can be set up as a module and tailored to your shop.

  • Faults and repairs

    Lighting, refrigeration, card terminal or fixtures giving trouble can be logged as a case with an owner, status and documentation. Set up wherever the shop needs it.

  • Suppliers

    Contact details, agreements, documents and links gathered together — and, where relevant, linked to the products the supplier is behind.

  • Documentation and procedures

    Return policies, complaints, product guides, safety information and internal instructions in a single up-to-date version instead of folders and email threads.

Staff portal, shop checks and fixed routines

Staff, documents and instructions sit together in the staff portal, while tasks, shop checks and fixed opening and closing routines can be set up with an owner, deadline and status. Daily operations become a fixed routine instead of notes by the till.

Honest scope

It doesn't replace your till system

We don't promise full till, accounting or inventory management. Your till system and accounting system can stay exactly where they are. Consitus brings together the other half of shop operations — the part that currently lives in Word, Excel, email, folders and notes by the till.

  • Not a POS system and not an accounting system
  • Not a promise of full inventory management
  • Yes to product data, labels, promotions and QR codes
  • Yes to staff information, documents and procedures
  • Yes to tasks, shop checks and fixed routines
  • If specific data needs to be exchanged with another system, we agree a concrete scope

How it works in practice

How the retail system works in practice

We start small and expand as the shop uses the system.

  1. 01

    Products are set up

    You add the products used in labels and promotions, with price, text and image. Once — not once per document.

  2. 02

    Labels are generated

    Choose a layout — A4, A3, shelf label or promotion label — and the label is built from the product information. Ready to print.

  3. 03

    Daily operations are set up

    Staff information, tasks, shop checks and fixed routines are added to the extent the shop needs.

  4. 04

    It expands as needed

    Suppliers, repair cases, documentation or other modules are added as daily operations call for them.

Who it's for

A retail system for independent shops and smaller retailers

Independent shops and smaller local retailers — not large retail chains.

  • Smaller speciality shops with a fixed product range
  • Local retailers with an owner or manager and a small team
  • Showrooms or shops where labels and prices change often
  • Shops that currently make labels manually in Word or Excel
  • Shops with recurring promotions and offer weeks
  • Shops wanting to gather staff information and procedures in one place

The solution is built as modules on Consitus Intranet, so you get a proven foundation and only tailor what's specific to your shop. See pricing for setup, platform and modules.

FAQ

Questions about the retail system and price labels

What is a retail system for small shops?
A retail system for small shops brings together the part of daily operations that currently lives in Word, Excel, email, folders and loose notes — product data, price labels, promotions, staff information, tasks, routines and documentation. It's built for independent shops and smaller retailers, not chain management.
Can the retail system produce shop price labels?
Yes. The product is set up once with a product code, name, price, previous price, text and image. From there you choose a fixed layout — for example A4, A3, shelf label or promotion label — and the price label is generated from the information already on the product.
Can prices and product text be reused across several labels?
Yes. The same product information is used across label types, promotion labels and internal materials. If you change the price or text on the product, the change carries through — avoiding duplicate work and incorrect prices in the shop.
Can the system be used alongside our current till system?
Yes. The retail system is not a POS, accounting or full inventory management system, and your till system and accounting system can stay exactly where they are. If specific data needs to be exchanged between systems, we agree a concrete, limited scope.
Can we start with products and price labels and add more features later?
Yes. Many shops start with products and price labels and only add a staff portal, tasks, shop checks or fixed routines once it adds value in daily operations. The solution is set up to the extent the shop needs.
Can we put QR codes on the labels?
Yes, QR codes can be set up on labels and link through to, for example, product information, a manual, a video, a booking, an offer or a relevant webpage — so customers can read more right at the shelf.
How do we get started?
We start with a demonstration and a short conversation about how the shop currently operates. We then set up a first version with what you need most right now, and expand based on actual use.
