Loss Prevention and Self-Service Scanning Zones
Challenge
Self-checkout is already a fixture at most physical retail stores and is a technology that will likely expand rapidly in the coming years. But self-scanning zones, gated areas with automated kiosks, can become a significant friction point and loss prevention space if not adequately monitored.
Because positioning multiple staff members in and around these zones risks eroding the benefit of the investment in the technology, retailers are looking for a solution that can:
Ensure self-checkout queues organize and move fluidly
-
Promote self-balancing by informing customers about wait times
-
Improve queue management by automatically communicating checkout options
-
Identify exiting customers who did not correctly conclude transaction
-
Provide a frictionless checkout experience to customers
