Smart Bis: The Digital Revolution in Retail and Restaurants
Discover how KONEKT leads the 'Smart Bis' revolution with digital signage, smart menus, and ESL for advanced retail management in Israel.
In the modern business landscape, the concept of a 'Smart Bis' represents the ability of food and retail chains to secure a smarter market share using technology. KONEKT, a leading Israeli company, enables businesses to transition from cumbersome manual management to synchronized Digital Signage and Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) systems. From digital menus at Pizza Hut to inventory management at Tiv Taam, technology is the heartbeat of sales.
Digital Signage: Much More Than Just a Screen
Implementing digital signage isn't just about hanging a screen. It involves a central Content Management System (CMS) that provides full control over every branch. KONEKT offers end-to-end solutions, including ON-PREM installation and remote monitoring, ensuring maximum operational continuity.
- Digital menu boards for QSR to update promotions instantly.
- Shelf-talkers and gondola-end screens in retail chains like Good Pharm.
- Lobby and queue screens in medical clinics like Meuhedet.
- Meeting room signs for shared workspaces to manage schedules efficiently.
Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) – The New Standard for Tiv Taam and Mahsanei Hashuk
Switching to ESL is a major step toward a smart store. Chains like Tiv Taam, operating ESL in about 50 branches, and Mahsanei Hashuk, currently deploying in dozens of locations, already understand the value. These e-paper-based labels save energy with batteries lasting years and sync directly with the chain's ERP system.
| Feature | KONEKT ESL | Digital Signage (Screens) |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Use | Price accuracy and inventory sync | Sales promotion, atmosphere, wayfinding |
| Display Tech | e-paper (Electronic Ink) | High-res LCD / LED |
| Management | Automatic ERP synchronization | Central CMS for media management |
| Ideal Location | On the shelf, next to the product | Above counters, gondola ends, windows |
Multi-Branch Management and Remote Monitoring
One of the greatest challenges for large chains is control. SMART KONEKT systems allow remote monitoring of every Gateway and screen in the network. If a fault occurs, the technical team identifies it before the store employee even notices. The system's flexibility allows for Cloud or On-Prem installation, a critical solution for organizations with strict security requirements.
Tailored Solutions for Different Sectors
Every sector requires a different approach. In restaurants like Pizza Hut, the focus is on enticing visuals that drive customers to their next 'Smart Bis'. In Meuhedet clinics, the focus is on order and clear guidance via over 100 door screens updating physician names and queues.
