Fujitsu U-Scan Self Checkout

Shoppers appreciate the time saving efficiency of self checkouts. And retailers enjoy the rapid return on investment and competitive edge the Fujitsu U-Scan systems provide. Consider the many ways U-Scan can differentiate your business performance:

Increased Security

The U-Scan system has three levels of security that deter against theft and human error (overhead video cameras, bagging station with weigh scale and an attendant). U-Scan self service checkout users are reporting significantly lower shrink rates compared with conventional lanes. Additional security features, such as EAS or biometrics, can also be integrated into the system.

Better Use of Labour

Larger retailers can reduce front end labour costs by as much as 120-150 man hours per week. Retailer can keep more stations open with the same number of cashiers.

Increased Throughput

Four U-Scan self service stations can handle 120 – 140 customers per hour and significantly increase throughput during peak periods while decreasing pressure on conventional checkout lanes.

Customer Loyalty

Shoppers appreciate not having to wait in a checkout line. Two thirds of U-Scan grocery store self scanning checkout users rate it as “excellent or very good” for speed and overall efficiency. The U-Scan self scan terminals also provides shoppers with more control over price verification as well as greater privacy – to avoid self consciousness when purchasing personal or pharmaceutical products.

Expanded Selling Space and Display Areas

Retailers with the U-Scan self scanning system have more room to add checkout lanes or for product displays. A typical configuration of four U-Scan terminals and one attendant station had the same foot print as three conventional checkout lanes.

High Return on Investment

The U-Scan system is cost effective and a sound investment. U-Scan users report an average payback in 9-12 months.
