Utopia self-service checkout kiosk launched in Chicago

The first major installation of Pan-Oston’s Utopia self- service checkout solution is underway in the 30-outlet Chicago-area grocery chain Strack and Van Til. According to a news release, Utopia, developed by Pan-Oston, is simple to install, manage and update. The unit also is scalable, PCI compliant, and integrates with any POS software.

"It’s as if they designed it just for us," said Henry Bykerk, director of information systems for Strack & Van Til. "The installation of our Utopia solution was as simple as Pan-Oston promised. Within three hours of delivery we scanned our first item."
