NCR Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies,
today announced that Formosa Supermarket, one of the biggest and most
modern supermarket chains in Brazil, chose an NCR hardware solution to
expedite service in its stores.
With three stores in Belém (Pará, Brazil), Formosa Supermarket enjoys
some of the highest revenues per store and by checkout in Brazil.
Increased store activity, combined with hot and humid weather conditions
required Formosa Supermarkets to incorporate a solution that not only
handled large volumes but could also stand up to the climate.
“In a competitive marketplace, we have to constantly improve the
experience for our customers, giving them a reason to choose Formosa
Supermarket,” says Paulo Oliveira, CFO at Formosa Supermarkets. “Our new
NCR technology solution helps improve the customer experience, and
create greater efficiency within our stores with faster, more accurate
scans that improve traffic flow.”
The installation and service of the technology is being completed by Bureau
Tecnologia, NCR’s channel partner in Belém. The point-of-sale
solution includes the NCR
RealPOS™ 40 combined with the NCR
RealScan™ Bi-optic Scanner. Beyond being engineered for withstanding
intense conditions and high volumes, the scanner can read barcodes on
all six sides of products, even FEBRABAN codes found on invoices.
“Formosa Supermarket was experiencing delays at the point of service
that were unacceptable to customers and not conducive to growing the
retailer’s business,” says Jorge Belmar, vice president of retail for
CLA and Brazil, NCR. “NCR technology enables the supermarket to better
control store flows with retail-hardened equipment that will stand up to
the rigors of the Brazilian climate and help provide a much better
experience for shoppers.”
NCR bi-optic scanners scan both 2D barcodes on mobile devices and
drivers’ licenses as well as traditional bar codes on product labels.
NCR’s innovative technology combines the best of imaging and laser
scanning technologies working together to decode all symbols fast and
efficiently.
