January 20, 2012

Fujitsu recently launched its U-Scan Compact self-checkout solution to enable retailers to offer customers efficient and flexible check-out experiences, according to a company press release.

With its smaller in-counter footprint, flexible transaction options and build-to-order design strategy, the U-Scan Compact system is the first self-checkout system that can satisfy the needs of retailers in a variety of verticals beyond grocery and do-it-yourself (DIY), including drug stores, convenience stores, category-specific stores, and specialty stores,Brian Yates, director of retail marketing at Fujitsu America, said in the release.

"While the first generation of self-checkout systems paved the way for the future, their size and design limitations have prevented many retailers from adopting them," he said. "The U-Scan Compact system changes all that. Any retailer can now order a self-checkout solution that fits comfortably into their unique retail environment, while also offering payment and assistance options to meet the specific style and temperament of their clientele."
