Consumers are embracing self-service technology more than ever before. In fact, they are coming to expect it. From airport kiosks and pay-at-the-pump gas stations to self checkout lanes in do-it-yourself, grocery and warehouse stores, shoppers are consistently opting to control their own transactions.

Meanwhile, the demand for self checkout continues to rise. Transactions at self service checkouts for 2008 have been projected at over USD $230.7 billion (more than a 28% increase from 2007).

But is your self checkout solution doing all it can for you? A good solution should offer:

  • Maximal consumer usability
  • robust solution manageability
  • great control over the software
  • flexible hardware options
  • high POS integration
Self checkout should never be a hindrance—to either your shoppers or your store. If your current solution does not offer you the ease-of-use or flexibility that you desire, consider switching to a new solution provider.
