Price Checker Software

What is Price Checker Software?
Price Checker Software from POS Emirates runs on wall-mounted or free-standing kiosks with a barcode scanner and touch display. When a shopper scans a product, the screen shows the current selling price, any active promotion, the unit price, product image and description — pulled live from your POS or ERP so it always matches the till.
When idle, the kiosk plays promotional content, making it a digital-signage screen and a customer-service tool in one device.
Who is it for?
Price Checker Software is used by UAE retailers who want to reduce price queries and comply with consumer-protection rules:
- Supermarkets and hypermarkets with frequent promotions and thousands of SKUs
- Pharmacies and health stores displaying product details and alternatives
- Home, DIY and electronics stores with items too large to carry to the till
- Department stores and fashion retailers running seasonal sales

Self-service price checking for UAE stores
In a busy hypermarket, price questions are the number-one interruption for floor staff and the number-one cause of disputes at the till. POS Emirates Price Checker Software puts the answer in the aisle: scan, see the price and promotion, carry on shopping.
Because the kiosk reads prices from the same database as the till, what the customer sees is exactly what they will pay — which is precisely what UAE consumer-protection regulations require.
Key capabilities
Fast, accurate lookups
The integrated omnidirectional scanner reads barcodes from any angle and returns the price in under a second. The result screen shows the item image, name in Arabic and English, selling price, unit price, active promotion and, if enabled, the aisle location and stock status.
Promotions that make sense to shoppers
Multi-buy offers, loyalty-member prices and bundle deals are displayed with clear "was / now" pricing and the conditions of the offer. Promotions start and end automatically with your POS schedule.
Signage when idle
Between scans the kiosk becomes a digital sign. Upload images and videos, build playlists and schedule them by store, day and time from the central console — weekly offers in the morning, fresh-food deals after 5 pm.
Integration options
- Native, real-time sync with POS Emirates POS & Billing Software
- REST API connector for SAP, Oracle, LS Retail and other retail systems
- Scheduled CSV or SQL import for legacy systems
Analytics
Every scan is logged anonymously. Reports show the most-checked products, peak hours and stores with the most queries, helping merchandising teams fix confusing shelf labels and target promotions.
Hardware supplied and installed
POS Emirates supplies wall-mount and floor-standing kiosks with 10-inch to 21.5-inch screens, integrated scanners and secure enclosures, and installs them with network cabling and power. Remote monitoring alerts our support team if a kiosk goes offline.
Compliance note
UAE Ministry of Economy rules require that the price displayed to a consumer matches the price charged. A single source of truth for kiosk and till, plus scan logs, gives retailers a clear audit trail.
Pricing explained
Software is licensed per kiosk or per store and includes updates, cloud content management and support. Kiosk hardware is a one-time purchase from around AED 2,900 per unit installed. Chains receive volume pricing and can integrate electronic shelf labels for a fully connected store.
Rollout
A single-store deployment with existing POS Emirates POS takes one visit. Chains integrating with SAP or Oracle typically go live within two to four weeks, including API mapping, content setup and store staff briefing.

What is a price checker kiosk?
A price checker kiosk is a touch screen with a barcode scanner placed in store aisles. Shoppers scan a product to see its current price, promotion and details instantly, without asking staff or walking to the till.

Yes. It syncs in real time with POS Emirates POS & Billing Software and connects to SAP, Oracle, LS Retail and other systems via API or scheduled import, so kiosk and till always show the same price.
Can it display in Arabic?
Yes. Product names, prices and promotions are shown in Arabic and English with a one-tap language switch and right-to-left layout.
Can the kiosk show advertisements when not in use?
Yes. In idle mode it plays scheduled images and videos managed from a central console, turning every kiosk into a digital-signage screen for your promotions.
How much does a price checker kiosk cost in the UAE?
Software starts at AED 99 per kiosk per month or AED 349 per store per month, excluding VAT. Kiosk hardware with screen, scanner and mount starts at around AED 2,900 per unit installed.

Kiosks are not mandatory, but UAE consumer-protection rules require displayed prices to match charged prices. A price checker fed from your POS database helps you comply and gives customers confidence.
