A mobile retail signage management system includes a communication device capable
of transmitting a specific location for which a corresponding sign needs to be
positioned at the specific location; a portable workstation including a product
database that associates product information with the specific location, wherein
the product information includes display information for a corresponding sign positioned
at the location. Moreover, the portable workstation communicates to the communication
device as the portable workstation comes within the communication range of the
communication device, wherein the communication range corresponds to the near vicinity
of the portable workstation with respect to the communication device. A sign writer
for imaging the corresponding sign in real-time, in the near vicinity of the specific
location; and a computer network for updating the database are provided. Additionally
a clerk is alerted that the corresponding sign needs to be imaged and positioned
at the specific location.
