Tesco stores add to fleet of NCR self-checkout systems

September 19, 2011

Tesco customers throughout Central and Eastern Europe can now scan, bag and pay for goods themselves.

The supermarket chain is the first retailer in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary to make this technology available and has more self-checkouts in more stores in Poland than any other supermarket. The deployment follows significant consumer adoption of the self-service tills at Tesco stores in the UK, Ireland, the U.S. and South Korea.

"New technology has a big role to play in making shopping easier and more convenient for customers," said Mike McNamara, chief information officer at Tesco. "The NCR compact self-checkouts give our customers a quick and easy option to pay which they really like."

Tesco first started using NCR SelfServ Checkout in the UK in 2002. More than 10 million Tesco shoppers now use them weekly throughout the UK, representing over a third of the retailer's store transactions.
