Ten Attributes of a Superior Self-Checkout Solution Environment: An NCR White Paper

 

It’s the software

The most successful self-checkout solution represents a blend of innovation, engineering excellence and in-depth understanding of the customer experience. It incorporates rugged, precision-built hardware in a user-friendly configuration designed for flexibility and exceptional total cost of ownership. But make no mistake, when it comes to assuring the best all-around experience for your customers as well as store associates and the information technology (IT) team, nothing differentiates a superior self-checkout implementation more than the solution software.

Get the facts

If you are considering self-checkout for the first time, you’ll want to identify and understand the software components that are essential to system functionality and that will give your enterprise an operational and competitive advantage.

If you plan to update previously installed systems, you’ll want to make an “apples-to-apples,” factbased evaluation of currently available selfcheckout software. Don’t be misled into comparing one provider’s early-generation software with a competitor’s most recently released solution.
