Shopping With a Smartphone

A man is running late for a business meeting when he spills coffee on his tie and shirt. He hurries to the nearby store where he quickly finds a replacement shirt and tie. However, when he gets to the checkout line, there is only one cashier working and five people ahead of him. He can either be late with coffee on his tie or he can take things into his own hands and shop from his smartphone with an app called ScanOut.

Skip the Line

With an app like ScanOut, the man with the messy appearance becomes the well-dressed employee who arrives on time. Here is how it works with the man and the tie example:

● The man chooses a shirt and tie he wants to purchase
● Using his smartphone, he scans both barcodes
● He then goes to the cart on ScanOut
● There he can review the item picture, description, cost, and quantity
● He picks a credit card for the payment method
● A receipt can then be displayed on the phone while walking out of the store

It is just that easy, and shopping should be easy. It shouldn’t be a hassle of an experience, atleast not with the advancements in technology.

On the Side of the Merchant

While the ScanOut app is great for customers, it is a win-win scenario for merchants as well. It could cut down on the cost and boost customer service. With employees able to better maintain the store and assist customers, the customer experience becomes heightened. It will probably even lead to more positive online reviews. This is great for businesses, as word of mouth can truly make or break a business these days.

With both the business and the customer happy, not too much else is needed. Save the time and save the hassle with an app like ScanOut.
