DULUTH, Ga., 2016-Aug-18 — /EPR Retail News/ — NCR Corporation (NCR) leads Europe in self-checkout (SCO) technology, according to research published by strategic research and consulting firm RBR. NCR, a global leader in omni-channel solutions, continues to lead in the shipments of SCO across key markets within the region including the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Russia. NCR also holds the top position in SCO shipments in all global regions tracked by RBR.
According to RBR’s “Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2016” report, NCR also saw an increase in its shipments of electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) technology – and holds the #2 position worldwide.

Leading retailers are looking to enable digital engagement and offer flexible shopping options, including self-checkout, to meet customer demands and sustain a positive brand value.
“NCR’s Retail technology helps retailers transform their business and redefine the customer experience,” said Michael Bayer, president, NCR Retail Solutions. “Through our store transformation solutions we help retailers reimagine the store as the hub of the shopping experience and deliver rich, frictionless and personalized services across every channel.”
