Introduction

This document is the user guide for the Self Scanning Client (Bring Your Own Device). The Self Scanning Client enables a customer to scan and enter items unaided by a cashier. The Self Scanning Client also transfers the total purchase amount of the virtual shopping basket at the end of the shopping trip to the SAP Omnichannel Point-of-Sale by GK, where the customer can pay with the usual payment methods. The customer can use their own device (BYOD: Bring Your Own Device), such as a smartphone or tablet computer. The customer can install the Self Scanning Client application onto their device via the usual digital distribution services such as “Google Play” for Android devices or the “App Store” for iOS-based devices.

The customers always know the value of their current virtual shopping basket, which saves time during checkout. The Self Scanning Client from GK Software helps employees in retail businesses to cater for customer needs more extensively. The Self Scanning Client increases customer throughput.
