Self-Checkout

Only Utopia Self-Checkout Allows You To Stay In Control Of Your Self-Checkout

As the official self-checkout solution for the N.G.A., we've developed Utopia around the needs of the independent grocer. After years of focus groups and testing of various solutions, we developed Utopia to be the smartest and simplest self-checkout solution on the market today.

Only Pan-Oston's Utopia Self-Checkout Solution works as an application to your POS. What Utopia has done is to decouple your back office data and reporting from your POS, turning self-checkout into a simple and smart function of your operating system. This allows your self-checkout to communicate directly with data from your back office system; the brilliance of this can be seen in reducing the need of POS upgrade integration costs thus allowing you to change POS providers at any time without sacrificing your other software applications, further allowing you to continue to use your existing hardware and peripherals.

Pan-Oston's Utopia Self Checkout puts you back in control of your store and it's self-checkout. No longer will you be locked into long-term POS/Self-checkout commitments. Plus, with Utopia Self-Checkout, even self-checkout systems that have been declared end-of-life by other manufacturers can be saved and updated saving you hundreds of thousands of dollars.
