Solution: Self-Checkout

# Turn the screen. *Customers take over.*

SUMWARE delivers self-checkout without a second platform. At the flip of a switch, any existing register becomes a self-service interface: the same Promo Engine, the same payment mix, the same voucher handling. If you want more, you get a dedicated SCO island, built around your concept, free of lock-in.

## From the flip of a switch to the SCO island.

In SUMWARE, SCO is a mode of the same POS rather than a second piece of software. The points below show what that means in detail, and why even the full build-out keeps every door open.

- One-switch SCO

  ### Turn the screen. Checkout becomes self-service.

  SUMWARE turns any register into a self-checkout interface at the flip of a switch. Turn the screen toward the customer, and shoppers scan and pay on their own. No second device, no extra license, no re-login.
- The UI adapts

  ### Cashier functions step aside. Promotions stay on.

  In SCO mode, SUMWARE hides manual discounts and cashier-only promotions. The Promo Engine, bundle price lists and voucher logic keep running. Customers get exactly the same conditions as at the staffed register.
- The full range of payments

  ### Card, Bluecode, voucher: all there in SCO.

  SCO mode keeps every modern payment method available: cards, Bluecode and other electronic payments, vouchers, loyalty cards. No second payment terminal, no reduced feature set.
- From one switch to a dedicated SCO island

  ### From turning the screen to a full self-service corner.

  If you need more than the one-switch mode, SUMWARE delivers stand-alone SCO solutions, planned and built around your requirements, from layout to hardware.
- Free of technology and provider lock-in

  ### Want to reuse your own development? Go ahead.

  The open SUMWARE architecture lets you or your partners build and connect your own SCO components. You stay free at the technology and provider level, and you keep control of your SCO roadmap.
- ### SCO for your store?

  We demo the one-switch mode live on your assortment and, if you like, sketch the right concept for a dedicated SCO island. No obligation, 60 minutes.
