Worldwide, retail stores and their point-of-sale checkouts are as diverse as the consumers they serve.  However, they do share common characteristics.  Retailers must accurately and reliably collect item level transaction data while continually improving the operational efficiency of the checkout.  Operational efficiency translates into improving the speed of the checkout which in turn improves the consumers’ shopping experience while  reducing the costs associated with each item scanned. Despite these commonalities different retail checkout environments have different requirements for collecting item level data.  Checkout environments will vary based on the type of store, merchandise mixes, cultural or geographic differences, and consumer preferences.
