Whether it's retail, financial service providers, banks, or the IT and security industry – from 28.02. to 02.03.2023, EuroShop in Düsseldorf will once again open its doors to professionals from various sectors. A component of this is EuroCIS. As Europe's leading trade fair for retail technology, it is dedicated this year to the theme "Tomorrow is the new today!". Joining us: We from ALVARA.
EuroCIS – one of the eight dimensions
EuroCIS debuted in 1997 – back then as a congress. Today, the event has evolved into the leading trade fair for retail technology. The focus is on innovations in the industry and new, efficient solutions for trade. As in previous years, EuroCIS 2023 is one of the eight dimensions of EuroShop. In the exhibition complex of Messe Düsseldorf, the retail technology area occupies five halls. These are filled by over 300 exhibitors from more than 30 countries.
They will present their various technologies to up to 9,000 professional visitors, covering store concepts, supply chain optimization, and digital checkout zones. With diverse products, they aim to revolutionize retail. Examples of the product categories are:
- Analytics (Customer Tracking or Big Data Management),
- Supply Chain Management (Tracking & Tracing or Inventory Management),
- Payment Systems (Solutions for mobile payments or online payment systems),
- POS Software (Cash register software or software for POS communication) and
- POS Hardware (Cash management solutions or cash register hardware).
ALVARA at EuroCIS – with the Self-Checkout Cash Register
Like last year, our team from ALVARA | Digital Solutions is again at EuroCIS. 2022 showed us that retail is already aiming strongly towards digitalization. The focus: more flexibility and cost efficiency. To offer solutions for this, we present our joint products at the booth of ITMediaConsult AG. Especially in the spotlight is the Self-Checkout Cash Register (SCO) for retail. It combines ITMediaConsult AG's hardware expertise with ALVARA's long-standing experience in cash management software.
The idea of self-service checkouts is not new. They have been available in retail for some time. However, widespread implementation has been lacking. Despite this, they offer obvious advantages. With SCOs, the need for personnel can be optimized. Simultaneously, a more efficient use of space can be achieved. Additionally, there are benefits on the customer side: self-service checkouts reduce wait times and increase customer flow. As a result, this leads to a more positive shopping experience.
Achieving success with the right checkout solution
The important thing is: A self-checkout cash register only leads to the desired result if it is tailored to the specific needs on site. This is where our digital checkout system ITR Cash Register comes into play. With the software solution and the visually appealing kiosk system SmartPOS 80, retail can optimize its customer- led checkout processes – individually tailored to them. With the flexible configuration of the cash register product, we can quickly integrate and implement customer wishes together with retail.
A self-checkout cash register is not an option for you yet? Because in your small farm shop, local bakery, or trusted butcher shop, you prefer to rely on staffed sales counters. Then the MediaPOS 800 in conjunction with the ITR Cash Register with integrated scale is a suitable option for you. The smart app also considers the reporting of current sales in the stores. This way, you create customer-friendly and efficient processes. The functions of the ITR Cash Register go even further:
- central data maintenance
- quick cash register synchronization
- sustainable eBon as a digital receipt
- advertising on the customer display
- integration of customer cards and individually configurable discounts
