AWEK and ABC Retail present SelfScanning with new SelfPayment Terminal

AWEK, provider of comprehensive POS system solutions, and its strategic partner ABC Retail, specialist for process and IT consulting, will present at the EuroCIS a new integrated solution for self-scanning and self-payment. The know-how and the self-scanning technology required for this process is supplied by ReVison and ABC Retail whilst Motorola provides the scanners (MC17), AWEK delivers the self-payment terminal.

Self-scanning and self-payment are becoming more and more accepted in international retailing. The retailer benefits from a reduction of operating costs whereas customers enjoy a more pleasant shopping experience when they are in control of the checkout procedures. So both sides cash in on shorter checkout times and therefore find this technology essentially good.

With their new solution consisting of devices for self-scanning and a new payment terminal AWEK and ABC Retail launch a perfectly integrated system. It works as follows: After having scanned his/her customer card the customer takes a portable scanner from a shelf. Using this scanner the customers reads the bar codes of all the items while he/she puts them into the shopping cart. Hence, all necessary information (i.e. unit price/total) is already available to the customer on the scanner while shopping. Also, the hand-held can be used to advise of additional cross-selling promotions. When finished the customer goes to the self-payment terminal, scans his/her customer card again, and the receipt will automatically be displayed on the payment terminal. The customer is then led through the payment process by means of the intuitively operated user surface. After this the scanner is returned to the base.

“Our self-scanning system combined with the self-payment terminal of AWEK is a profitable solution for the retail trade“, explains Wolfgang Binninger, managing director of ABC Retail. “The system can be put to use in a variety of ways, and provides immediate advantages through lower costs and happy customers“, says Binninger.

AWEK and ABC Retail present their self-scanning and self-payment solution at the EuroCIS in hall 9, stand C19.
