Modern design, intuitive interface and superior performance of NCR
hardware and software solutions enable Iper to open in ‘Il Centro’, one
of the largest shopping centers in
The 9,000 square meters of the Iper hypermarket, located in "Il Centro"
in Arese,
This modern store is equipped with a range of NCR hardware and software that automates the checkout services, offering customers the choice of self-service or assisted checkout in a simple and fast way. Specifically, Iper has selected the NCR RealPOS XR7 systems to provide its cashiers with an innovative workstation that combines ergonomics, aesthetics and operational efficiency. The NCR RealPOS XR7 stands out with its modern “all-in-one” design incorporated in a capacitive 15” touch screen, ideal to host the touch-based user interface of the NCR Advanced Retail Solution application.
Iper also offers a number of self-checkout options for customers, such as the NCR Fastlane Self-Serv Checkout solution where customers scan their purchase and pay with cash or other payment options. In addition, the hypermarket uses the smaller NCR Self-Serv 90 for two types of transactions. The first is a self-checkout with fast and efficient electronic payment options only where customers scan the content of their shopping cart at the checkout. The second is an electronic pay station at which customers simply pay for the items that they have scanned with a handheld device when putting it in their basket or cart.
Iper staffs the self-service checkout areas in order to support customers with questions or additional needs. In total, the hypermarket checkout consists of 18 self-service payment locations and 28 assisted lanes, to offer the best combination of checkout services, minimizing queues.
"Thanks to NCR's cutting-edge and easy-to-use solutions, we are always
able to offer our customers an attractive shopping experience, suited
for all types of consumers," said
All checkout lanes are equipped with the full imaging bioptic NCR RealScan 7879 scanners that are able to read any kind of bar code quickly and accurately. The assisted lanes also include a “remote” imager, integrated in the mount bracket of the card terminal. In the future, it will allow consumers to use their smartphones, for example, to present their loyalty card and coupon barcodes directly on the screen of their phone, as well as for mobile payments.
"Working with Iper Arese on this project has been a great and successful
experience for NCR. We combined the most appropriate solutions in our
NCR portfolio, enabling Iper to offer this unique shopping experience,"
said Tatiana Corà, Area Sales Leader Retail,
