A discount giant has taken a cloud-based self-checkout system from its U.S. garden centers to all over the store and the world.
In spring 2018, Walmart began piloting mobile technology in its Lawn & Garden Centers across more than 350 U.S. stores. Called Check Out With Me, the program outfits associates with mobile devices and Bluetooth printers that enable them to check out customers, and provide them with a receipt on the spot.
To support Check Out With Me, Walmart implemented a system it had been prototyping called Cloud Powered Checkout (CPC). Since then, the CPC system has enabled Walmart to accelerate new innovations and customer experiences.
