Toshiba’s new self-checkout solution is designed to improve the customer shopping experience while enhancing efficiency and reliability for retailers.
In addition to reducing friction during the checkout process, the solution provides shoppers with added choice, privacy and control by offering additional checkout options.
Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions global sales senior vice-president head Bill Campbell said: “Grupo Éxito is a very important customer in South America and we feel privileged to support them along their journey to meet changing consumer preferences with our most advanced self-service solutions.
“We are equally thankful for the strong relationships we have with our regional business partners who are essential to bringing innovations to retailers and implementing our solutions in local markets.”
The technology rollout comes after Éxito worked with Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions in 2020 to develop a frictionless shopping experience.
