Aldi Nord pilots self-checkout services in the Netherlands

The retailer is testing different options for customers to complete their purchases through Scan & Go services, Self-Checkout kiosks and exit terminals.

Aldi Nord is testing different self-checkout systems in several stores across the Netherlands. The retailer has equipped locations with Scan & Go services, Self-Checkout kiosks and exit terminals to enhance the customer experience.

In partnership with shopreme, Aldi now offers their customers a seamless shopping experience with dedicated self-checkout areas and implementing the system into its customer app.

Customers can now use the app to scan products and make payments using their preferred payment methods. This process culminates with issuing a digital receipt within the app, enabling customers to leave the store by scanning an exit code at the shopreme vector terminal which opens the checkout gate.

“To offer our customers a hassle-free experience, we are testing different shopping experiences and evaluating modern checkout systems. Shopreme has proven to be a reliant partner to gain a bigger picture of future checkout technologies, also referring to our in-store processes. These aspects play a crucial role when developing a long-term checkout strategy,” said Christian Bock, Team Lead Self-Service Checkout & Cashless Payment at ALDI Nord.

This ecosystem connects all self-checkout clients, promoting cost-efficiency and enabling a hybrid shopping journey. Consequently, interactions between staff and customers are more demand-centric than traditional self-checkout areas, enhancing overall store efficiency.
