TCx® Amplify

Thin-client mobile shopping app for Android or iOS. Optionally integrated with existing retailer mobile applications.

Architected to allow for up-sell and cross-selling of items while the customer is shopping—optionally using the POS Integration Hub which is based on Toshiba DIF software.

Extensible capability to send personalized content to the shopper during their store experience—e.g. “fresh bread available in the bakery”, “your prescription is ready”, “see our daily specials”, etc.

This high-performance barcode scanning software provides consumer smart phones with fast and accurate scanning of barcodes from any direction on a product and reduces costly errors by eliminating misreads.

TCx Amplify is a store-optimized, high-performance solution, designed for the demanding high-volume retail store environment.

The solution is architected to leverage a single version of business logic for all touch points in the store (e.g. POS registers, self-checkout, and mobile) with respect to loyalty, pricing, discounts, and payments. TCx Amplify is not a “stand beside” solution—it’s tightly integrated with the POS system in the store.

Makes auditing smarter by incorporating shopper history and other factors. TCx Amplify provides a configurable Trust Management Service. For retailers with an existing solution, it's also possible to leverage a retailer-provided trust service.

Shoppers can continue scanning items if a wi-fi disruption occurs; the solution will automatically “catch up” when wi-fi is restored.

If a controller that is maintaining a shopper’s transaction fails, the Mobile Engine will connect to backup controllers and replay the shopper’s transaction. This eliminates the need for the shopper to rescan their transaction.

If a phone becomes disabled for some reason in the middle of a shopping trip, the shopper’s session can be recovered on another phone or a retailer-provided smart device using the shopper’s loyalty ID.

Shoppers can quickly check the price of any item before deciding to purchase. If implemented by the retailer, the price will be the shopper’s loyalty price.

The solution is pre-integrated with Toshiba checkout options, including standard POS registers (with SI GUI or VisualStore) and Toshiba Self-Checkout (with CHEC) or a mobile-optimized self-service pay station (also using CHEC).

TCx Amplify provides a complete self-service scale capability that allows shoppers to easily self-weigh their fresh produce, then synchronize automatically to their smart phone label. (The self-service scale can optionally be configured to also print price-embedded barcode labels.) Combined with supported hardware components from Toshiba and 3rd-party scale manufacturers, this provides retailers a complete weights and measures certified solution for self-service weighing of produce items—ideal for the fresh foods area of the store.

Yet another way for retailers to let their customers shop the way they want to. TCx Amplify V1.4.1 provides support for:

Datalogic 9800i Models
Zebra MC18 Android
Datalogic Joya A6
Other devices can be supported through professional services
 

Extensions are provided to allow any front-end register (whether self-checkout using CHEC or whether a conventional register using SI GUI) to be able to complete a mobile transaction. These extensions include the capability to handle exceptions (for example, age verification, audit required, and so on) as a seamless part of the front-end checkout process.
 

TCx Amplify V.1.4.1 provides support for Mobile Payments (which encompass mobile wallets and mobile money transfers) and are an increasingly attractive way to pay because they’re secure, fast, and convenient.
 

Daily reporting for statistics and utilization history—enables retailers to track usage and better understand how to optimize the solution operationally.

Retailers can better manage peak operating periods by deploying additional store associates to the front-end. Combined with supported retail-hardened smart devices and supported wireless printers, Toshiba TCx Amplify enables store associates to scan a customer's order while they wait in line, then print a suspend/retrieve label so they can complete their payment when they get to the register. This not only makes the line go faster, it also results in a net increase in total store throughput during the busiest shopping periods of the year.

Works with Toshiba POS solutions including 4690 OS-based solutions (e.g. SurePOS ACE, SA, GSA, CDSA,SI V4R1, CHEC 7.1)  and VisualStore. Plus, it's architected as a highly-extensible solution that can integrate with additional or 3rd party POS systems.
