A Better Way to Buy

Ever go into a grocery store for three items and end up stuck behind 10 people with carts full? Everyone has been there at least once or twice. Wouldn’t it be nice if the line could be skipped? Well, now, it can be with a smartphone app called ScanOut.

Avoiding those Long Lines

Any phone that can take a picture should also have the capability to scan an item. Most often, this is for smartphones only, so people who do not have this ability may want to consider a phone upgrade. When the item is scanned, it is entered into the person’s phone as a possible item to buy. They can even review the quantity, color, and size of the item.

After the item is scanned, the consumer has the chance to add or delete it from the “cart.” Once all the items are entered into the “cart”, people only have to enter their payment information. ScanOut will even scan a coupon. This gives people the savings they want in a timely manner.

Impact on Businesses

A grocery store manager can literally feel the contempt when dozens of people are waiting in line for checkout. Now, they can tell their customers about ScanOut and help them get in and out faster than ever before. This keeps traffic moving steadily and happily at the grocery store. Management sees it and the customers can feel it, too.

Time is so important nowadays that it seems a waste of time to be standing in line trying to buy an item. People can give themselves the gift of time by having apps like ScanOut on their phone. Men and women can pick out their items, give them a quick scan, and then show their digital receipt to the personnel while walking out the door. It’s time to move past the checkout lane.
