ISTANBUL, Turkey -- Following a successful pilot, Migros Turk, a 310-store chain here, will be deploying 50 self-checkout systems immediately and expects to have 200 systems installed by the end of next year.
convinced us we made the right decision and should proceed with a rollout during 2000 and 2001. We plan to install two systems, on average, in approximately 100 stores."
In 1999, Migros installed self-checkout technology from NCR, Dayton, Ohio, in five stores, offering shoppers the option to scan, bag and pay for purchases without cashier assistance.
Migros also installed a Web-based kiosk, also from NCR. The retailer expects to have 300 Web kiosks installed in its stores by the end of this year.
As with its traditional checkout lanes, Migros captures transaction data from the new self-checkout systems for use in its data-warehouse applications.
