Bereket Supermarket Chain's transformation story with LabelInn

Problem: The Weekly Pricing Campaign Nightmare
Mehmet, the General Manager of Bereket Supermarket, faced the same crisis every week:
"Thursdays are our campaign days. We update prices on around 200 products every week.
The old system: We'd enter the new prices from the central computer, then email an Excel file to each store. The store manager would open the Excel, walk to the computer, and print labels one by one.
Printing 200 labels at one store took 2 to 3 hours. We have 12 stores — that's 30 hours of man-hours every week. And sometimes a wrong price got printed, and customers would complain at the register.
The campaign was supposed to start Friday morning, but at some stores the labels weren't finished until Friday noon. That was a serious problem."
Measurable Problems:
- 2–3 hours per store (30 hours total per week)
- 15–20 wrong price labels per week
- Store staff stuck in the back office instead of on the sales floor
- Campaigns launching late (Friday noon instead of Thursday evening)

Solution: LabelInn + ERP Integration + Mobile Printing
Mehmet discovered LabelInn at a retail conference and piloted it in 2 stores first.
Setup (1 hour per store):
- Connected the store ERP system (Netsis) to LabelInn
- Created a price label template (barcode, product name, price, campaign graphic)
- Installed LabelInn on each store manager's phone
- Connected Epson printers to phones over Wi-Fi

The Owner's Comment
"LabelInn gave us real operational efficiency. Saving 30 hours of man-hours means 120 hours a month. That's the equivalent of 3 full-time employees.
Our campaigns now launch on time. Customer satisfaction went up because we eliminated the 'shelf says X, register says Y' complaints entirely.
Most importantly: store managers are no longer stuck in the back office — they're on the sales floor where they belong, spending more time with customers. LabelInn isn't just software — it's a business model change."
