Company profile
researched Aug 2026Mobile Price Card Inc., which operates under the name MPC Solutions, develops software that lets retailers control what appears on digital screens inside their stores from a single dashboard. Its original product is a patented application installed on the mobile devices already on display in consumer electronics and wireless stores, replacing printed paper price cards. The app presents three screens on each handset: current price, technical specifications such as screen size, camera type and battery life, and a third screen carrying relevant advertising and price promotions. Shoppers can minimize the application by touching the screen in order to use other device features while browsing.
The company positions the product as a compliance-centric enterprise CMS for in-store execution, covering pricing updates, promotions and merchandising messaging at the point of purchase. Beyond display control, it reports on in-store data such as product placement and coaching opportunities; that data can be viewed online, downloaded, or distributed through an API. The company states its solutions are used in more than 20,000 locations and describes itself as first among U.S. wireless carriers.
Founding story
Chad O'Leary, who had spent years in wireless retail and owned six Verizon stores, wanted a more accurate way to update rapidly changing handset prices, particularly for Android devices, whose prices change more often than iPhones'. He met Kevin Downs, then working in marketing at Wireless Zone, a Verizon authorized dealer, and the two devised a way to replace printed price cards with an app running on the display phones themselves. O'Leary developed and launched Mobile Price Card in his own retail locations in 2015.
Business model
Software sold to retail chains and carrier-authorized dealers, deployed across their store locations and managed centrally through a dashboard, with data accessible online, by download or via API.
The company sells its application to retailers, which download and update it with prices and specifications for each store; specific pricing terms are not disclosed in the available sources.
Traction
As of October 2018 the company reported 18 customers across 22 states covering roughly 500 store locations, operating with four employees plus contract developers and accountants. A Gust profile listed the company at the Full Product Ready stage with six employees. The company's site states its solutions are used in over 20,000 locations.
Latest developments
The company now markets itself as MPC Solutions, an enterprise CMS for retailers, stating that its compliance-centric solutions are used in more than 20,000 locations for in-store execution.
