Self-checkout is quickly becoming an essential tool in today's retail environment. Thousands of stores now offer self-checkout, and that number is increasing daily. Retail executives are realizing that self-checkout systems greatly improve customer service and increase operational efficiency while providing a strategic competitive advantage. Today's shoppers have demanding expectations, and the conveniences provided by self-checkout are very high on their list.
QUICKcheck is an open self-checkout solution that provides maximum flexibility. When purchased as a software-only solution, QUICKcheck gives retailers the freedom to choose their preferred ATM and POS components, as well as cabinet providers. This in turn allows retail IT departments to achieve vendor standardization between self-checkout and the components currently in use at their POS. QUICKcheck's software-centric option eliminates vendor reliance and greatly reduces acquisition and servicing costs.

JAVA-Enabled Plug-in Customization
QUICKcheck's modern development framework, facilitated by its innovative Java architecture, allows retailers and third parties to add new functionality via software plug-ins quickly and easily. The Java source code is also available under special licensing. QUICKcheck's openness makes it unique among its contemporaries by providing more flexibility to fit your current budgets, policies, best practices, and vendor relationships.
Multiple Plug-and-Play Options
For retailers seeking a more plug-and-play solution, QUICKcheck is available in a variety of preconfigured cabinet designs. The ePay model is perfect for small orders and stores with limited square footage. With abundant and convenient bagging space, the Full Cash Express model is great for orders of all sizes. With QUICKcheck, retailers have the flexibility to mix and match units within their stores to meet their specialized needs. Each cabinet has also been designed to accommodate third-party components such as CPUs, scanners, LCD screens, PIN-pads, and receipt printers to provide maximum customization and flexibility.
The Attendant Workstation
The Attendant Workstation (AWS) allows an attendant to monitor security and assist customers quickly and easily on up to six lanes simultaneously using a split-screen monitor. Having an attendant present encourages more customers to use self-checkout for the first time. During periods of peak traffic, the AWS has the ability to serve as an additional checkout lane.
Versatile World-Class Cabinetry
While QUICKcheck's off-the-shelf cabinet designs meet the needs of many retailers, other store operators require a considerable level of customization. In order to help retailers meet their unique self-checkout requirements, QUICKcheck offers the most versatile cabinet options on the market today. Working closely with conceptual design experts, retailers can now build unique self-checkout systems that optimize their competitive differentiation, build customer loyalty, and increase system usage. QUICKcheck offers a variety of cabinet colors, merchandising options, and POP displays. The system's ability to accommodate a wide range of hardware components provides additional value and flexibility. Intelligently designed servicing doors, custom footprints, and concisely cabled interiors ensure spatial optimization. Regardless of customization levels, QUICKcheck's industry expertise means that cabinet form and function are viably integrated to best serve retailers and consumers.
A Customer-Driven Shopping Experience
Because shoppers today are busier than ever, they demand speed, efficiency, customized service, and above all, the freedom of choice. QUICKcheck was designed with these needs in mind. The system guides customers intelligently through the checkout process with bilingual voice prompts and a step-by-step graphical user interface. The customer commands all aspects of checkout: confirming prices, pacing the transaction, and deciding how the bags are packed. If the customer needs help, the attendant is monitoring the process only a few feet away and can lend immediate assistance.
Enhancing the Consumer Experience
QUICKcheck's innovative and patented features streamline the consumer experience. The patented AmbDex feature provides the perfect balance between security and usability, allowing the consumer to scan multiple items using both hands before placing the items on the security bagging platform. Other innovative features, such as Automatic Weight Verification, Electronic Article Surveillance Deactivation, and a self-tuning security database, further simplify the checkout process and provide the conditions for greater consumer acceptance and usage of self-checkout.
