Benefits of technology

The present invention is about a divider that can be placed on a shelf to separate different items on the shelf. This invention also includes a method and system for organizing items on a shelf.

Problems solved by technology

Sometimes store personnel or store customers place or replace the various items in a somewhat disheveled manner that deviates from the most effective presentation of the items such that identical items are not lined up directly one behind the other and such that different items are not immediately adjacent thereto.
One of the difficulties with such prior art divider systems is that the relative width between dividers that exactly accommodates a particular item varies among the different items shared or displayed along the shelf.
