European software provider 'Xhockware' recently developed a supermarket checkout app that helps reduce wait times. As many consumers know, waiting to checkout at a busy grocery store can be a time-consuming process. This app is designed to reduce long queues and keep consumers from suffering through a lengthy wait.
The new retail app is called 'YouBeep' and is designed to help reduce checkout wait times by more than 70 percent. The platform functions as a self-scanning smartphone app that consumers can use to checkout items as they shop. Xhockware claims that the app shortens queues and increases basket size per customer by nearly 15 percent. In addition, the supermarket checkout app helps grocery stores reduce their operating costs by letting consumers scan their own goods.
YouBeep ultimately helps grocery stores streamline their services and improve consumer satisfaction at the same time.
