Guide prices for sizing a finance agreement, not quotes. Manufacturers in this market mostly price on application, so where a current UK list price could not be confirmed the row describes a specification class rather than naming a model. Your supplier quote is what the agreement is written against.

Check EligibilityThis equipment qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, so a purchase or HP agreement can be deducted against taxable profit in the year of purchase. Finance lease payments are typically deductible in full from profit as they are paid, and refinancing an owned asset does not change its capital allowances position.
Electronic shelf label systems are bought almost exclusively by multi-site retailers standardising pricing and promotion updates across an estate, since the business case is built on removing manual price-ticket changes store by store rather than in one location alone, which is why the finance is normally sized to the rollout schedule agreed with the ESL supplier rather than one store at a time. The system has two distinct cost elements, the electronic tags themselves fitted to every shelf edge, and the wireless base stations and gateway infrastructure that update them, and both are typically included in the same asset finance facility. Replacement is usually driven by a move to a newer wireless standard, battery life reaching end of service life across a store’s tags, or the retailer extending the programme to stores not yet converted.
