Supermarket chain also names NCR as winner of two of its most prestigious supplier awards for IT strategic importance as well as thought leadership and innovation
Coles is one of Australia’s largest supermarket retailers, operating 750 stores across the country and completing more than one billion customer transactions every year, almost half of which are completed through NCR self-checkout lanes. Recently, Coles selected NCR as the winner of the Coles IT Strategic Vendor Award and the Coles Chief Information Officer Award for innovation and thought leadership.
NCR’s Note Recycling functionality recycles cash notes accepted in self-checkout machines and dispenses them as change in subsequent transactions. The NCR Note Recycling solution helps to lower cash float and reduces replenishment cycles, leaving employees with more time to help customers.
“We deployed our first self-checkout lane in 2009 and today we are
running more than 4,000 of them, thanks to the strong acceptance of
self-checkout among Australian shoppers,” said
NCR’s Note Recycling functionality provides competitive differentiation by reducing cash-in-transit servicing from once per week to as little as once every three weeks.
“Our collaboration with Coles helped NCR identify and unlock the
best-suited solutions for improving customer flow in the stores and
optimizing lane availability – two major contributors to a good shopping
experience,” said
According to RBR’s ‘Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2014’ report, NCR Retail was ranked as the #1 supplier of self-checkout technology with 71 percent market share.
