Scan & Go at supermarkets & discounters

Introduction:

Modern customers rely on speed and convenience — especially in grocery stores. With the BEEP! Scan & Go app transform your supermarket or discount store into a future-proof, efficient shopping space. In this technical article, decision makers learn five tried and tested best practices for the successful introduction of Self-checkout retail.

‍

Start the first pilot phase with clear goals

• Branch selection: Start with 1-2 locations, ideally with different customer volumes.
• Goal definition: Set measurable KPIs (e.g. 30% lower wait times, 20% app usage rate in week 1).
• Feedback loops: Collect direct customer and staff feedback. Adapt processes iteratively — this is also how BEEP optimizes! its product continuously.

Tip: Use dashboards to track pilot KPIs in real time and make quick adjustments.

2. Technical connection without hurdles

• Sandbox testing: Perform transaction simulations in a protected test environment to minimize failure risks.
• Rollback plan: Define an emergency process.

‍

3. Staff training and support

• Hands-on workshops: Short trainings (max. 30 min.) on app functions, QR code control and trouble shooting.
• Train-the-trainer: Train one key user per branch to share their knowledge and act as first-level support.

‍

4. POS marketing for maximum acceptance

• QR code display: Place them at the entrance, on busy corridors and next to traditional cash desks.
• In-store signage: Use eye-catching posters with short benefit bullets (“avoid queues”, “mobile payment”).
• Cross-channel promotion: Promote the Scan & Go app on receipts, in newsletters and via social media to increase reach and download rates.

‍

5. KPI monitoring and continuous optimization

• Real-Time Dashboards: Visualize your KPIs with BI tools like Power BI or Tableau.
• Alerts & automation: Set threshold-based alarms (such as sudden abort rate) to respond immediately.

Tip: Use AI-based analytics tools to identify anomalies at an early stage and automatically generate recommendations for action.
