SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 17, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fujitsu today announced general availability of U-Scan® version 4.7 self-checkout software that features a technology upgrade and new features that will benefit retailers in a competitive market. The Fujitsu U-Scan 4.7 enhancements have been developed to support future Fujitsu product innovations.
This new software release improves on the existing U-Scan technology by adding customer personalization with support of the My U-Scan™ mobile application, support of Windows Embedded POSReady 7 and customer station check processing. The upgrade is designed and tested for backwards compatibility with all currently supported U-Scan hardware product versions including NextGen, U-Scan Genesis® self-checkout and other self-checkout competitors.
Fujitsu U-Scan version 4.7 software also enables retailers to accommodate single or multiple mobile attendants in a cluster. Consumer benefits include enhancements to coupon detection, produce and bagging features. This new version is helping retailers enhance U-Scan product stability, usability and overall operation. Specific product features that are being introduced include:
-
User Interface Upgrades: Customers can easily navigate grocery commands and process transactions without delays.
-
Automated Software Maintenance (ASM) Upgrades: Updates improve a security warning when an ASM update control is launched by a non-administrative user and ASM database rollback support.
- System Management Upgrades: The updated software removes the outdated framework and enhances cash payment timeout.
"We continue to update technology such as the U-Scan version 4.7 software to meet the demands of our retailers and improve their relationships with consumers," says Brian Yates, director of retail product marketing at Fujitsu America, Inc. "The consumer will enjoy the ease of use improvements when shopping at a store, and the retailer will benefit from an increase in customer satisfaction, productivity and efficiencies."
The software release is currently available for customer integration for new and existing self-checkout retailers and their consumers.
Installed in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, millions of consumers already enjoy Fujitsu U-Scan technology on a daily basis. The Fujitsu U-Scan 4.7 self-checkout software will continue to elevate the relationship among retailers and their consumers.
