Change the display. The screens follow.
No more walking the shop device by device: manage the display of all your PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones from a single desk.
Digital labelling for computer retail
Computer, smartphone or tablet: every device on display shows its own label.
The brand, specifications and price are displayed directly on the device's own screen, in your brand's colors. You update an information in the console, and the screens in the store are automatically updated.
No time limit, no card details.
SCRIX is digital labelling software for computer stores.
It shows the brand, the specifications and the price on the screen of the devices on display, computers, smartphones and tablets, and manages every device remotely from a web console.
What it changes in your store
Prepare your display or price changes in the console: they reach the shop's screens when you publish.
2
Your shop floor, in front of you.
The console shows live what each screen is displaying. Check your store from your desk, or from your tablet between two customers.
3
These devices are still there to be sold.
Uninstallation is launched from the console, and the device leaves as it arrived.
A device set up in three steps
STEP 1
Install
On a computer, unzip the folder and run the shortcut. On a phone or a tablet, install the app. The device shows a QR code and waits.
STEP 2
Scan
Take out your phone and scan the QR code. The device joins your fleet with its brand, model, processor, memory, storage and screen already filled in.
STEP 3
Publish
Compose the layout in your own style, click Publish. The screen in the store shows it.
Your brand guidelines on every screen
SCRIX gives you complete freedom: your logo, your colours, your typeface (import your own), your way of writing prices. Twelve elements and more than a hundred and thirty settings, plus a library of templates to save time.
Ready-made templates
In the colours of the sector's major retailers. Take one, change it, it becomes yours.
Drag to place
Every element is positioned with the mouse or a fingertip, straight onto the preview. You publish when you are ready, and the store screens show it.
An animated backgrounds workshop
Stars, snow, network, sprites. A gauge shows the processor load, light, medium or heavy, while you adjust.
Your own panels, text or media
A trade-in offer, a finance option, this week's promotion: on one device or across the whole fleet at once.
28 font families included
Plus your own, if your brand requires its typeface. Five weights, three alignments.
Maker logos and icons
Twelve manufacturers and eight spec icons are supplied. Your own images take their place whenever you prefer.
The price reads the way your brand writes it
Set the currency and its position, the size of the cents, how high they sit, and the angle of the line through the old price. Until you find your own way of showing a price.

Every device, in every format
A laptop open on a table, a tablet on its stand, a phone in the window. SCRIX installs on all three, adapts to the shape of their screen, and lets you choose how much of it the label takes.
Computer, smartphone or tablet
Every device on display shows its own label. The console recognises what it is the moment you add it, and then only offers what makes sense for it.
Windows, Linux and Android
A client program on Windows and Linux, an app on Android 7 and above. On phones and tablets the device switches to kiosk mode: it shows nothing but its label.
Eight screen formats
From the 32:9 of very wide panels to the 9:20 of an upright phone, by way of 16:9, 16:10, 4:3 and 3:4. A screen whose format is not on the list takes the nearest one, rescaled.
Full screen, floating card or side bar
The label covers the screen, sits as a card in a corner, or runs as a strip down one side. The rest of the screen stays visible when the device has something else to show.
Composed once, right everywhere
You compose on one format, the others inherit it, rescaled to their screen. Ten pixels below the price stay ten pixels, from a fifteen-inch laptop to a 4K panel.
One estate, all devices together
Laptops, phones and tablets live in the same console, with the same theme and the same gestures. You publish once, the whole aisle follows.
Regulatory information, without another paper sign
Repairability or durability index, energy class, SAR, eco-contribution, private copying levy: what the law requires you to display fits on the device's own screen, next to its price.
Official artwork, untouched
The repairability index, the durability index that is gradually replacing it, and the energy label are placed in their official artwork, in the state's own typeface. You fill them in, you do not redraw them.
The notices next to the price
The eco-contribution and the private copying levy are written under the amount, in the expected wording, and in your shop's language.
Phone SAR values
Head, body, limbs: the three values appear as soon as they are filled in, and stay silent when they do not apply.
A QR code to the full record
The customer scans it with their phone and reads the whole record: the index calculation grid, the detailed energy label, the private copying notice.

What is SCRIX?
SCRIX is digital labelling software for computer and phone shops. It shows the brand, the specifications and the price on the screen of the devices on display, computers, smartphones and tablets, and manages every device remotely from a web console.
Who is SCRIX for?
SCRIX is for computer and phone shops and multimedia departments that display devices switched on: independent resellers, franchisees, specialist chains and large stores.
Does SCRIX replace paper price cards?
Yes. The price and the specifications appear on the device's own screen. There is no longer a sign to print, to cut out, or to replace when the price changes. Depending on the law and regulations of your country, it may still be wise to keep a backup display.
Do I need to buy any hardware?
No. SCRIX uses the screen of the device on display, which is already on the shelf and already switched on.
Which systems does SCRIX run on?
On Windows 10 and 11, on Linux (Debian 11 and later, Ubuntu 20.04 and later, Linux Mint 22, RHEL, Rocky and AlmaLinux 9), and on Android 7 and later.
Does SCRIX work on smartphones and tablets?
Yes. An Android app puts the phone or tablet into kiosk mode: the device shows nothing but its label, and is managed from the same console as the computers.
Does the Android app come from the Play Store?
No. The app is downloaded from the SCRIX site and installs directly on the device, with two permissions granted once.
Which screen formats does SCRIX handle?
Eight: 32:9, 20:9, 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, 3:4, 9:16 and 9:20. Each format keeps its own settings, and a screen whose format is not on the list takes the nearest one, rescaled.
Can the label be something other than full screen?
Yes. The label can cover the screen, sit as a floating card in a corner, or run as a strip down one side. The rest of the screen then stays visible.
Can computers and phones be mixed in one estate?
Yes. Laptops, phones and tablets live in the same console, with the same theme and the same gestures. You publish once, the whole aisle follows.
Does SCRIX run on Mac?
Not for displaying: the client program exists for Windows, for Linux and for Android. A Mac can still manage the whole fleet, since the console is a website.
How do you add a device?
The device shows a QR code. You scan it with your phone, and it joins your estate with its brand, model, processor, memory, storage and screen already filled in.
Do the devices have to be on the same network as the console?
No. Each device needs an internet connection, nothing more, and the console works from anywhere. The same network is only required when you add a device: the phone scanning the QR code must be on the device's connection, which proves you are standing in front of it.
Can I display it in my own brand colours?
Yes. You import your logo, your colours and your typeface so your brand guidelines appear on screen, you adjust twelve elements to the pixel, and you can start from an existing template to save time.
Can everything be managed from a tablet?
Yes. The console is a website: it opens in the browser of a tablet, a phone or the office computer, with nothing to install.
Can I show a promotion?
Yes. The old price appears struck through next to the new one, and you set the angle and the length of the strike.
Does SCRIX display the repairability and durability indexes?
Yes, both, in their official artwork: the repairability index and the durability index that is gradually replacing it. The energy class, SAR, eco-contribution and private copying levy come with them, and a QR code takes the customer to the full record.
How much does SCRIX cost?
Three devices are free, with no time limit. Beyond that, the subscription is 79 € per month for an unlimited number of devices, with no commitment.
How does payment work?
Payment goes through Stripe. The accepted methods are the ones its payment page offers, and SCRIX never sees or stores a payment method.
How do I get my invoices and cancel?
The "Manage my subscription" button in your console opens the Stripe portal: there you change your payment method, download all your invoices and cancel in one click. At every renewal an email also brings you the link to the invoice.
What happens if a payment fails?
The screens keep displaying. The period already paid for runs to its end, and a banner warns the manager in the console.
What happens to the device once it is sold?
You start the uninstall from the console or from the device itself, and it goes back the way it arrived.
How do I uninstall SCRIX on the device?
While the device is still on the network, remove it from the fleet in the console: it uninstalls itself at its next call. On the device itself: on Windows and Linux the delivered folder contains « Desinstaller SCRIX »; on Android, seven taps in the top left corner, right in the corner. And if the program no longer responds, a full uninstall tool for Windows and for Linux can be downloaded from scrix.altonet.fr/add.
What happens if a device loses the network?
The screen keeps showing its label, frozen, and the console flags the device for you. It picks up its updates again on its own as soon as it finds the server.
Doesn't the screen switch itself off after a while?
Not by itself: while it is showing its label, the device keeps its own screen awake, on Windows, on Linux and on Android alike. No app, however, can stop a customer from pressing the power button of a phone on display. The label comes straight back when the screen is switched on again, without going through the lock screen, and your console flags the device whose screen is off.
Does SCRIX collect data about the store's customers?
No. SCRIX shows a product sheet on a screen and nothing else: no camera, no sensor, no footfall counter.
Which languages is SCRIX available in?
In six languages: French, English, Spanish, German, Portuguese and Italian, for the console as well as the store screens.
Who develops SCRIX?
SCRIX is developed and published by Altonet, an independent agency based in Saulxures-lès-Vannes, in north-eastern France.
How do I get help?
Write to contact@altonet.fr. Altonet answers directly, as the publisher of the software.
How is it different from an e-paper shelf label?
Electronic shelf labels mean buying a unit per product and a gateway. SCRIX displays on the device's own screen, which measures six to fifteen inches instead of five centimetres, and is already on the shelf.
