The global retail landscape is transforming at an unprecedented pace. At the forefront of this revolution is the rise of self-checkout systems, which have quickly become a staple in modern retail stores.

Swift customer support when needed at Self-Checkout.

By Integrating Turnpike with Extenda, self check-out now becomes easier, faster and with less friction, in three ways:

1. On-Demand Customer Assistance

A customer in need of help at a self-checkout machine can simple tap on the screen, and a notification is sent to the right staff member’s wearable device. The staff member swiftly approaches, offering help and ensuring a smooth and stress-free shopping experience.

2. Routine Re-check for Accuracy

For routine accuracy checks - making sure everything bought, is payed for - the self-checkout system itself sends out a notification. Turnpike’s solution ensures that the right person is notified, enabling them to handle the re-check effortlessly and efficiently.

3. Automated Age-Control Verification

When a customer attempts to purchase an age-restricted product, such as tobacco, alcohol or an energy drink, the system triggers an alert for age verification. The notification reaches the nearest staff member, who quickly verifies and approves the purchase, ensuring compliance without disrupting the shopping flow.

Even minor inconveniences, like a sudden machine error or when running out of receipt paper, are addressed. Instantly alerts from the machines goes to staff to take action, preventing downtime and maintaining a seamless shopping experience for customers.
