For over 45 years, retailers around the world have been relying on Toshiba’s retail-hardened solutions to keep their checkout lanes open and their businesses moving.
Self-service is all about empowering people: Empowering customers to take control of their shopping journey and empowering retailers to think differently about their stores’ possibilities.
A critical part of that elevated service is streamlining what goes on behind the scenes, so when your associates need to check for backstock, help a customer place an online order or track down a one-of-kind item, there are systems in place to support them.
Today’s stores don’t just exist to help customers stock their pantries and tackle to-do lists – they’re in a unique position to deliver a personalized journey for customers.
Catch problems before they create issues for your store and your customers.

With the omnipresence of mobile touchscreen devices, more and more associates are accustomed to this technology and expect to use it to do their work. VisualStore's touchscreen system supports touchscreens at the point of sale at the operator interface, giving your associates a familiar setting to help them complete transitions accurately and efficiently. If you need to make changes to the operator's view, a graphical maintenance utility at the server lets you edit the touchscreen's design and send those new screens to the point of sale in real-time. You can also create different register design templates so you can assign different templates to registers that serve other purposes across your store, like the coffee bar, deli, point of sale and more.
