- Publicly available ESL OpenAPI documentation
- NFC-capable three-colour displays and a visual template editor
- A widespread dealer network in Europe
Watch-outs
- Per-model technical datasheets are not public
- ESL is not the company's core product line - roadmap priority sits on the POS side
- Freezer and large-format options are limited

Strengths
- Seven sizes and a very wide choice of mounting accessories
- Flexibility in warehouse, manufacturing and office scenarios
