Growing competition from online players is stimulating traditional retailers to reorganize their store networks in every aspect, from design and layout to size and scale. The role of technology in the stores has never been more essential, facilitating retailers to provide customers with a variety of checkout options, which suit their preferences. Customers expect instant services and are increasingly opting for automated devices to reduce their involvement in chores. Self-service technologies are progressively changing customers’ interactions with firms for creating service outcomes. Kiosk systems are being installed by numerous retailers in their stores for facilitating their customers for checking out with the things they have purchased without the need for cashiers. This results in an enriched shopping experience for customers through the reduction of checkout time and more personalized services at their stores. As the self-checkout terminals can be more compact than traditional tills, retailers can replace one manned till with multiple self-checkout systems. Thus, it is the smarter approach to reduce lines without having to expand the retail space. Owing to the benefits of self-checkout systems there is high demand for these systems and solutions around the world by the retailers, which in turn is contributing to the photo printing market growth.
