Retail/Self checkout
Self-checkout software

Why self-checkout
Built for the way people shop today.
Self-checkout is no longer an experiment. Done well, it gives customers a faster way out and gives your team time back.
People like to serve themselves
Many shoppers would rather scan and pay on their own than wait in line, especially for a handful of items.
Shorter queues at busy times
Every self-checkout station is another place to pay, without adding staffed tills or floor space.
Built for quick trips
Small baskets and top-up shops are exactly what self-checkout handles best.
Staff where they matter
Fewer people tied to the tills means more time on the shop floor, in the stockroom and helping customers.
Three ways to check out
Pick the checkout that fits your store.
Most stores mix them. All three run on the same items, prices and stock.
Self-checkout kiosk
A touch screen near the exit. Customers scan or search their items, see the basket and pay.
- Scan a barcode or press Search
- Category tiles for loose items
- Membership points on the welcome page
Scan as you shop
Customers scan items as they pick them, with a self-scanning device from the store or the customer app on their own phone.
- Self-scanning devices in store
- Shop and pay in the customer app
- Loyalty points and campaigns
Mobile staffed checkout
Staff take payment anywhere in the store from a handheld, to bust queues on busy days.
- Stock, prices and locations at hand
- Charge on the mobile
- Custom orders sent to the POS

Common worries
The usual worries, and how to handle them.
Raptool Self-Checkout is software, so it runs on standard touch screens and kiosks on Windows and Android. Start with one station and add more where the queues are.
Self-checkout uses the same items, prices and stock as the rest of Raptool Retail and your warehouse, and connects to your ERP or POS. Change the screens yourself in Raptool Designer.
Plan for it like any open till: keep an attendant near the stations and use cameras and weight checks where it matters. RFID tags in your labels can be added at any time.
Give people a choice: a kiosk, scan as you shop on their phone, or a member of staff with a handheld. Show membership points and offers to make the self-service route worth it.
