In the highly competitive POS software market, GK was able to significantly expand its market position and achieved second place behind market leader NCR Voyix. RBR Data Services’ study Global POS Software 2024 expects a growing demand for new solutions. However, more and more retail companies rely on proprietary solutions.

Sainsbury's will upgrade 22,500 checkouts in its grocery and convenience stores and petrol stations with the NCR Voyix commerce platform and the latest generation of point-of-sale solutions. NCR Voyix cloud technology enables the retailer to access real-time data and AI-powered analyses of its stores.

Asda has successfully completed the introduction of its new POS software from NCR Voyix. The British retailer has also replaced hardware components on a large scale including around 30,000 new hand scanners for customer self-scanning from Zebra.

The British Co-operative Group plans to implement Walmart's online fulfilment app Store Assist. The solution was developed by Walmart Commerce Technologies, the US retail giant's profit centre subsidiary.

Retail Insight has appointed Andy Brockway as its new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The move is part of Retail Insight's growth plans to accelerate the product roadmap and innovation strategy for its software solutions that help retailers and their suppliers realise the full potential of every store.

The market for self-checkout systems is growing by 11 percent worldwide, according to market research company RBR. Biggest growth driver is the Asia-Pacific region. NCR remains the undisputed market leader, but Chinese vendors are catching up.

Asda is integrating its logistics processes on the Blue Yonder Luminate platform. The decision marks an important step for the company's transformation process following its spin-off from the Walmart Group.

We are delighted that the Retail Optimiser has been able to accompany the internationally highly valued retail expert Bryan Roberts on a store check at Asda in Stevenage, UK, and share his personal insights.
