{"product_id":"zkong-cloud-service-6-month-subscription","title":"ZKong Cloud Service (6-Month Subscription)","description":"\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ZKong Cloud Service does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a hosted SaaS platform — there is no software to install and no local server to buy or maintain. You log in through a browser on a PC, tablet or smartphone, bind products to labels, design your label templates and schedule price and promotion changes. The platform pushes those changes over the internet to the ZKong ZAP-C base station in your store, which relays them wirelessly to every label and display on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003erequired service\u003c\/strong\u003e. ZKong hardware will not operate without an active ZKong Cloud Service subscription and at least one ZAP-C base station. One subscription covers the entire deployment — electronic price labels, shelf stretch displays and the meeting-room e-ink display all run under the same account and the same dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it fits together\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour ERP, POS or product database connects to the cloud over an open API, so a price change made once in your own system reaches the shelf without anyone re-typing it. The cloud talks to the ZAP-C base station over your store’s internet connection; the base station talks to the labels over its own low-power wireless link. Staff can also work directly from a phone or handheld on the store Wi-Fi to bind a label to a product or check a label’s status in the aisle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlatform advantages\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSaaS, no local installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — unlimited user accounts on the same server, and capacity that grows by adding server resources rather than buying hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in template editor\u003c\/strong\u003e — cloud-based templates edited in the browser with real-time preview, a large template library, unlimited fonts and multi-language text, and flexible triggers for when a layout changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnlimited expansion\u003c\/strong\u003e — one system manages e-paper labels, LCD stretch displays and AI cameras together; a single platform supports millions of labels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e — public SaaS, private cloud or local deployment, with support for globally distributed and clustered installations for multi-site retailers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpen interfaces\u003c\/strong\u003e — 200+ API endpoints for ERP, POS and custom integrations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — works from Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, over a normal wide-area internet connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eData security\u003c\/strong\u003e — cloud storage records, AES 128-bit encryption and automatic detection with early-warning alerts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecondary development\u003c\/strong\u003e — private server builds and app or mini-app development are available for specialised requirements.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you manage from the dashboard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShop management\u003c\/strong\u003e — data interfacing, staff accounts and permissions, marketing management, product-to-label binding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFacilities management\u003c\/strong\u003e — data upgrades, task management, equipment scheduling, people-goods interaction and data security.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTools\u003c\/strong\u003e — the template editor, monitoring and warnings, and journal management.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication solutions\u003c\/strong\u003e — smart picking, passenger-flow monitoring, display and inventory monitoring, and consumer-behaviour analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSubscription terms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery ZKong Cloud Service subscription follows the same terms, regardless of deployment size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScope:\u003c\/strong\u003e one subscription per deployment — not per label.
