NCR, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, announced
today that the NCR SelfServ 90 will be deployed by Ryohin Keikaku Co,
Ltd. in Japan.
The pilot implementation for MUJI department stores marks the first
installation of NCR self-checkout technology in a non-grocery
environment in Japan. Additional deployments are expected for its
high-traffic locations inside terminal buildings and metro areas, as
well as other stand-alone locations. The MUJI store in Yurakucho, Japan
is the site of the initial installation.
“The NCR SelfServ 90 was designed to be highly versatile with
configurations for a pedestal mount, a wall-mount and a countertop
stand,” says Dusty Lutz, general manager of self-checkout solutions at
NCR Retail. “The solution is intended to attract shoppers who have just
a few items and paying with a credit or debit card. The benefit is to
get them out of the store in record time – saving them from waiting in
lines or leaving in frustration without making a purchase.”
Historically, during peak times, MUJI experienced queues with more than
20 people in line, many with just a few items and some leaving without
making a purchase due to time constraints. The NCR SelfServ 90 has an
EMV compliant card reader for credit and debit card purchases, and its
contactless support handles e-currency that is gaining wide acceptance
in Japan.
NCR is the world’s
largest supplier of self-checkout technology according to strategic
research and consulting firm RBR. According to RBR, NCR is the leader in
self-checkout shipments with a total of 71 percent share and has the
largest installed base of self-checkouts globally. RBR expects strong
growth of self-checkout in all regions, but especially within emerging
markets.
