These are your advantages

Time saving accounting

Short to no waiting times

At self-checkout kiosks, the shopping experience feels faster and more relaxed for your customers. The feeling of wasted time due to long queues is eliminated. Instead of waiting for other people, customers become active themselves and are given responsibility and control over their own time when scanning goods.

Digital receipt

Independent billing

Active interaction - scanning groceries, for example - creates a sense of calm. The customer keeps moving and thus has an active and more enjoyable shopping experience. The frustrating feeling that often arises in the checkout area is eliminated and the customer leaves the store with a positive impression.

Touch screen

Large polytouch display

The 21.5 inch polytouch display ensures significantly better readability compared to smaller screens due to its size. The user interface of the LocaFox software is clearly designed and adapted to the needs of the customers, so that the use is absolutely intuitive.

Contactless shopping

Contactless shopping experience

Customers make hygienic, contact-free purchases at self-checkout stations. There is no need for cashiers to touch the goods and money, and no need to enter the EC card PIN on a device that numerous people have used before.

Why you should use LocaFox for your self-checkout

Cost-efficient and independent

A self-service checkout pays for itself: using one employee for several checkouts minimizes personnel costs at the point of sale and thus significantly reduces operating costs. At the same time, customer throughput in your store increases.

What our customers say about LocaFox

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a self-checkout register?

A self-checkout register, also known as a self-service register or self-checkout terminal, allows customers to complete their purchases on their own. Products are scanned directly at the checkout system or selected from the product list and then paid for at the self-checkout. This allows the traditional checkout process to be partially or fully automated.

Can I also use LocaFox to report my point-of-sale data to the tax office?

Yes. With LocaFox, you can also handle the legally required reporting of your electronic record-keeping systems to the tax office. We offer this service as an optional add-on for €50 plus VAT per year per branch. Two reports per year are already included.

Is LocaFox GoBD- and TSE-compliant?

Yes, LocaFox meets all legal requirements in Germany, including GoBD, KassenSichV, and the TSE requirement (technical security device). This ensures that your transactions are legally compliant and audit-ready.

How does the LocaFox self-checkout work?

Your customers scan their products themselves using the built-in barcode scanner or select items via the intuitive user interface. They then pay for and complete their purchase right at the self-checkout. Sales are automatically recorded in the LocaFox back office, allowing you to centrally manage your sales and reports.

What types of stores is the LocaFox Self-Checkout suitable for?

The LocaFox Self-Checkout is suitable for a wide range of retail and self-service concepts. These include, for example, farm stands, supermarkets, flower shops, and other retail stores. Self-checkout is particularly appealing for farm stands and flower shops, as it allows customers to pay for their purchases quickly and easily on their own, and enables stores to operate without a permanently staffed checkout counter at times.

Can customers pay with cash at the self-checkout?

Yes. By default, the LocaFox self-checkout system can be used for cashless payments with debit and credit cards as well as contactless payment methods. Optionally, the solution can be combined with a cash recycler. This allows customers to pay with cash on their own and receive change.

Can the LocaFox self-checkout system be used without staff?

Yes, the LocaFox Self-Checkout is fundamentally designed for self-service transactions and can therefore also be part of an unstaffed or minimally staffed retail concept. However, whether a completely unstaffed operation makes sense for your location depends on the overall concept—for example, on access control, theft prevention, age verification, and the products offered.

Can I use the self-checkout in addition to a regular checkout lane?

Yes. The LocaFox self-checkout can be used both as a standalone checkout solution and as a supplement to traditional staffed LocaFox registers. For example, you can create additional checkout options during peak hours or give your customers the option to choose between a staffed register and self-checkout.

Can products without barcodes also be sold at the self-checkout?

Yes. Products cannot be scanned using only the barcode scanner. Customers can also select items using the on-screen product search or product selection feature. This is helpful, for example, for fruits, vegetables, baked goods, flowers, or other products that do not have a traditional barcode.

What is the difference between LocaFox Self-Checkout and SCO Lite?

Both systems use the proven LocaFox Self-Checkout software. The main difference lies in the hardware. The LocaFox Self-Checkout Premium features a high-quality, fully integrated enclosure in which the individual components are protected and combined into a professional unit. The SCO Lite, on the other hand, relies on a modular design consisting of individual hardware components and is particularly well-suited for compact and cost-sensitive entry-level scenarios.

What hardware is included with the LocaFox Self-Checkout?

The Premium Self-Checkout combines all the components needed for the payment process into a single, integrated point-of-sale system. These include, among other things, a large touchscreen, a barcode scanner, a receipt printer, and a mount for the payment terminal. The specific configuration can be tailored to the particular use case.

Is the LocaFox self-checkout system also suitable for multiple stores?

Yes. LocaFox is suitable for both single locations and multi-location businesses. Point-of-sale data and reports can be managed centrally through the LocaFox Backoffice. The best configuration for multiple locations depends on your specific sales strategy.

Which self-checkout solution is right for my store?

This depends, among other things, on customer traffic, sales floor space, hours of operation, payment methods, and requirements for durability and security. For long-term professional use, we generally recommend the fully integrated LocaFox Self-Checkout. For smaller, compact, or particularly budget-conscious applications, the LocaFox SCO Lite may be a suitable alternative.

Does the TSE show up on the receipt?

The receipt contains a signature in the form of a QR code that contains all the information about the technical security device (TSE).

What happens if I need technical support?

Our technical support team is available Monday through Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. —via email, phone, or remote access. We also offer a comprehensive Help Center with instructions, step-by-step guides, and instructional videos so you can find solutions on your own whenever you have questions.
