PITTSBURGH -- Sorbara‘s Shop n‘ Save, an independent retailer with five stores here, has deployed Fujitsu U-Scan self-checkout systems from StoreNext Retail Technologies, Plano, Texas, StoreNext announced yesterday. The rollout, which began in November 2006, was completed within six weeks. Each installation includes two of the recently released belted self-checkout units plus two five-bag U-Scan stations. All of these shopper stations are integrated with StoreNext‘s ScanMaster POS software at Sorbara‘s. “Having a combination of bagged and belted self-checkouts made perfect sense for us,” said Jim Sorbara, owner of Sorbara‘s Shop n‘ Save, in a statement. “It gives our customers a choice of using self-checkout for large-volume orders, or the ability to get in and out quickly when they only need a few items. We can also have four self-checkout lanes open with just one cashier during high-traffic hours, enabling more employees to assist customers with their needs throughout the store.”
