It is equipped with a range of NCR hardware and software that automates the checkout services, thereby offering customers the choice of self-service or assisted checkout.
Iper has chosen the NCR RealPOS XR7 systems, which will provide its cashiers with a workstation that combines ergonomics, aesthetics and operational efficiency.
The NCR RealPOS XR7’s ‘all-in-one’ design is incorporated in a capacitive 15in touchscreen, which is ideal to host the touch-based user interface of the NCR Advanced Retail Solution application.

The first is a self-checkout with electronic payment options wherein customers have to scan the content of their shopping cart at the checkout. The second is an electronic pay station where customers pay for the items that they have scanned with a handheld device when putting it in their basket or cart.
The hypermarket checkouts consist of 18 self-service payment locations and 28 assisted lanes, thereby minimising queues.
All checkout lanes are also equipped with the full imaging bioptic NCR RealScan 7879 scanners that can read any kind of barcode. The assisted lanes also come with a remote imager, integrated in the mount bracket of the card terminal.
