Price Checker Kiosk — wall-mounted self-service scan station for your shopfloor. Customer scans a product, the screen shows the live price and stock.
A locked-down Android tablet paired with a slot-mounted USB barcode scanner, running the Sovereign Shelf Price Checker app. Reads from the same live catalog as your shelf tags — one price change updates the tag, the kiosk, and the mobile scanner together.
Specifications

Highlights
- Customer-facing — idle splash invites a scan; product card returns to splash after a few seconds, ready for the next customer.
- Sale-aware — renders strikethrough regular price, sale price, and date range when an item is on promotion.
- Live stock — shows on-hand and clearance status pulled from the same source as the shelf tags.
- Slot-mounted scanner — no Bluetooth pairing, no batteries to replace, nothing for staff or customers to lose.
- Proven in production — deployed at Delta Art & Drafting for over a year against a 29,000-product catalog.
Where it fits
- Shop entry, customer-service desk, or near high-confusion product areas (paint mixing, hardware bins).
- One kiosk handles a typical small-to-mid retail floor; add more for sprawling layouts.
- Works on all Sovereign Shelf tiers — Sentinel, Guardian, Vault.
