Data Capture Solutions for Retail Self-Serve Kiosks
Painless, convenient and hassle-free scanning for your self-serve station
Inefficient self-serve kiosks slow transactions, increase errors, and frustrate customers, leading to lost sales. Unreliable processes create inventory gaps and limit real-time insights affecting both efficiency and shopper satisfaction.

Give customers the power of DIY
Long checkout lines, limited staffing flexibility, and inconsistent customer experiences are common challenges in retail environments. High foot traffic can overwhelm traditional registers, leading to slower transactions and increased customer frustration. Staff can get tied up at checkout and have little time to focus on personalized service or operational needs, which ends up affecting overall store performance. These inefficiencies can limit the ability to meet modern shopper expectations for speed and convenience.
Socket Mobile data capture solutions provide durable and reliable barcode scanners that stand alone on their chargers, seamlessly syncing with the check-out applications of your choice. Many of our data readers include an auto-scan feature, making them fully functional for customer use at your store's self-service convenience stations. Providing your customers with control of their shopping experience saves them time and frustration, while also freeing up your associates' time to handle other important duties, such as assisting customers or stocking and staging merchandise.
