Scan & Go as a strategic answer to a shortage of skilled workers

“How do I find employees for my shop? “— A question that many ask themselves

Whether it's a kiosk, a delicatessen or a fashion boutique: For many retailers, it has become a daily challenge to find suitable staff — and above all to retain them. The reasons are manifold: demographic change, high fluctuation, increased salary requirements and growing competition for skilled workers.

At the same time, customers expect a quick, pleasant shopping experience — and as far as possible without waiting times. What to do when the lines get longer, the team is working at the limit — and simply no one is responding to your job ad?

One answer is: Scan & Go, i.e. self-checkout via app.
