First retailer in Malaysia to make customers live easier with a
faster and convenient checkout experience
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun. 22, 2015--
NCR
Corporation (NYSE:NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction
technologies, today announced that Tesco
Stores (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (“Tesco Malaysia”) has selected NCR
self-checkout technology to bring a faster and more convenient checkout
option for its customers in Malaysia. Customers will now have the
freedom to scan, bag and pay for goods themselves, without having to
wait in long queues.
The Tesco store at IOI City Mall in Putrajaya is the first site
of the pilot deployment, which will be followed by Tesco KSL City in
Johor. The NCR self-checkout solution provides user-friendly interface
and touchscreen that intelligently guides shoppers through the checkout
process with animated demonstrations for simpler and faster
transactions. NCR will provide consulting, training and services to
ensure smooth deployment.
“We are delighted to work with Tesco to extend the benefits of
self-checkout to another new market in Asia,” said Michael Cawley, vice
president of Asia Pacific, NCR Retail. “By leveraging our solid global
deployment experiences, we are helping retailers not only to improve
their customer services and differentiate their in-store experiences,
but also improve their operating costs.”
Tesco first started using NCR SelfServ checkout in the U.K. in 2002. The
technology is now available at Tesco stores in Ireland, the U.S.,
Central and Eastern Europe, South Korea and Thailand. NCR’s own research
shows that self-checkout solutions can reduce wait times by as much as
40 percent while nearly two thirds of shoppers say stores that offer the
option of self-checkout provide better customer services.
NCR leads
the world in self-checkout (SCO) technology, shipping more units in
2014 than all other vendors combined for the 5th consecutive
year according to strategic research and consulting firm RBR. RBR
expects ePOS and SCO shipments to grow through 2020.
