Abstract: Described embodiments relate to systems and methods for providing information to a customer. A weigh station has an input module for receiving a product identifier corresponding to a product and a scale for weighing the product. A storage module stores product information for a plurality of products. An information retrieval module identifies a related information profile from the product information based on the product identifier. An interactive customer display displays visual information based on the related information profile to the customer, which includes a plurality of customer-selectable items. The interactive customer display includes a customer-operated input module operable by the customer to select a selected item from the plurality of customer-selectable items.

Abstract: A method of and system for providing customer-specific information involving a) obtaining customer identification information for identifying a customer to be served at the weigh station; b) storing a plurality of customer profiles for a plurality of customers wherein each customer in the plurality of customers has an associated customer profile; and, c) when the customer is in the plurality of customers, retrieving the associated customer profile for the customer using the customer identification information and providing associated customer-specific information based on the associated customer profile to a weigh station display.

Abstract: Effectively re-stocking, re-organizing and removing items on display may reduce instances of dissatisfaction amongst shoppers/patrons and also may improve the profitability of a store. However, previous methods for managing displays of products that have limited shelf lives are sometimes time consuming and prone to errors. In contrast, some embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for managing the inventory of random weight items in such a way as to reduce the potential that consumers will purchase expired or past-date portions of items offered for sale.
