Skip, a Salt Lake City-based tech company, has introduced a cloud-based self-checkout kiosks for convenience stores, groceries and small format retailers, according to a press release.

"Most of the problems we found with existing self-checkout technology were inconveniences related to installation and maintenance," Chase Thomason, Skip CEO, said in the release. "We heard from many of our partners that they wanted to reduce their reliance on their staff to handle issues that arise at point-of-sale. Instead, cloud monitoring allows the software to handle those problems itself."

The kiosk can be mounted on a wall, counter or as a free-standing unit, all using the same components. Its cloud-based design also allows for real-time monitoring and troubleshooting.
