The skeye.quickpay integrates seamlessly into the shopping process of the respective store. Thus existing processes that have proved their reliability need not be changed.
Self-checkout terminals by Höft & Wessel improve the performance of a supermarket checkout process by up to 30 per cent, by splitting it into two: Whereas scanning of the goods remains a manual process, payment is fully automated. A customer pays at the skeye.quickpay terminal, while the cashier already serves the next client. Throughput at the cash desk will almost double.
The Skeye self-checkout solution offers unique benefits for retail companies as well as their customers. Retailers benefit from the extremely low costs of operation, their customers save time. An easy to use manual machine interface on a large 10“ touch screen makes payment a fast and easy experience. The skeye.quickpay can handle credit, debit, and loyalty cards and even print receipts as required. Besides, it can easily be enhanced by a cash module. Skeye terminals are based on a hot pluggable XScale™/Windows-CE™ system with fan-less cooling and solid state disk. Built for 24/7 self-service operation they even withstand rough environments. The device can either be mounted to a wall or used standalone.
The system has proven its capabilities in pilots and productive operation for more than 12 months and is now available.

The embedded GPRS and WLAN radio technology ensures for data exchange with the host computer at any time and from any location.
The high performance hand-helds skeye.allegro and skeye.allegro LS are particularly user friendly. With the latter, work is made easier by its large display, it fits well in the hand and is supplied with protection class IP65 for use under rough conditions.
Technically both devicec fullfill all demands which are required by a modern MDE-device: Intel XScale processor under Windows CE .NET or CE 5.0 operating systems, use of SD-memory cards, data capture per laser scanner, imager or RFID.
Both devices can be equipped with a vehicle holding device.

Up to date information, because main store information can be transferred to branches automatically and in real time. Saving room, because a poster usually advertises one product only whilst a video sceen has room for several.
