Abstract
A method is provided for managing item placement in a store. A count of electronic price labels (EPLs) is sent, by a processor, to a handheld device indicating a quantity of EPLs needed in a select portion of a planogram. An EPL identifier is received, by the processor, from the handheld device for each of the quantity of EPLs equal to the count. An item in the portion of the planogram is linked, by the processor, to each EPL. Placement information is sent, by the processor, to each electronic price label. The placement information corresponds with the linked item and is configured to be rendered on a display of each EPL.
