NCR has announced that it has been ranked as the global market leader in the self-checkout market, according to industry analyst firm Retail Banking Research (RBR) in its June 2011 report, “Global EPOS and Self-Checkout 2011”.
 
According to the report, NCR is the world’s largest self-checkout supplier in terms of both installed base and shipments, shipping approximately 6 times as many units as its closest competitor in 2010. Approximately 67 percent of all self-checkout shipments in 2010 were NCR terminals, more than twice as many units as all other competitors combined. RBR forecasts self-checkout shipments to grow 14.7 percent yearly through 2016.
 
NCR has held the global market leader position since RBR began following self-checkout in 2008. The company also held the top spot in self-checkout market share for nearly every region tracked by RBR, including Asia-Pacific, Central and Eastern Europe, Western Europe, and North America.
 
“By offering consumers greater choices in how they checkout, retailers can offer consumers an enhanced shopping experience and make checkout faster, easier and more efficient,” said Mark Wallace, solution management director, NCR Corporation. “NCR works with some of the world’s largest retailers to bring new self-service innovations to market based on our unique understanding of consumer behavior that enable retailers to differentiate themselves, lower operating costs and attract today’s empowered and elusive consumer.”
 
NCR recently announced the global launch of the next generation of its financial kiosks. You can read the full story here.

Usability Workshop @ KEX 2012

Handspiel
What can self-service terminals learn from the success of the iPad? The Usability Expert Workshop will explore ways of developing self-service solutions capable of inspiring the same fanatical reaction as Apple’s iconic product. On the 7th of March this year, hundreds of people were out on the streets, waiting to be amongst the first to get their hands on the latest iPad iteration. They had camped out all night with their thermoses in the freezing cold. Why are so many people willing to do this in front of every Apple store, but not for a new check-in terminal at the airport, train station, or shopping mall? What’s behind the buzz, and how can we encourage a similar reaction to self-service solutions? Through expert contributions and together with you, we will seek to answer these questions and explore future ways to get there. KIOSK EUROPE and Handspiel will present the Usability Expert Workshop as part of KIOSK EUROPE EXPO 2012, which runs from 12-13 June. The Usability Workshop will take place on Wednesday, 13th June from 10:30-13:30. Numbers are limited, so secure your place now by booking online at www.kioskeurope-expo.com
