The partnership is a natural part of ITAB and Fiftytwo's strategy to be able to offer comprehensive self-service solutions that will help retailers to meet consumer demands and needs. This solution will also contribute to raising the level of self-service possibilities on the Danish grocery shopping market.
Compose your own checkout arena
Fiftytwo already makes sales possible on all sales channels with the omnichannel retail solution 52RETAIL. Together with ITAB, they can now also offer a checkout arena, which combines different solutions that cater to the specific wishes and needs of today's customers. The solutions are all based on offering the most effective way to pay. I.e. the customer's basket size and store layout are essential factors that ensure the best customer experience. E.g. express checkout with few items, flexible checkout with self-scan solutions with conveyor belt or the traditional way with a cashier. All of these solutions can be combined with the customer's mobile phone, loyalty cards, etc.
This will enable the stores to meet consumer demands for a flexible and efficient way of buying and paying their goods.
ITAB is 100% integrated with 52RETAIL, so all product-and price calculation, campaign reductions and discounts, etc. are managed in the system and presented on the various ITAB terminals.
A perfect match
CEO of Fiftytwo, Henrik Salicath, is delighted with the partnership and the new opportunities it brings:
ITAB provides us with a partner offering state of the art solutions in omnichannel self-service systems. This gives our customers a major competitive advantage and at the same time supports our strategy for domestic and international growth. We look forward to offering a complete solution for both current and potential customers.
The new collaboration is also greatly welcomed at ITAB. CEO of ITAB, Bjarne Oldager Kusnitzoff, says:
We are two companies who want the same thing, and we could see a match from day 1. Fiftytwo is a highly respected and leading partner in omnichannel solutions in Denmark, and we are pleased that we can now offer our customers a "plug 'n' play" solution, where they do not have to worry about the security and coherence of the backend.
ITAB and Fiftytwo want international expansion
ITAB and Fiftytwo do not only aim to raise the level of omnichannel self-service solutions in Denmark, but also want to be competitive in other markets. Initially, they want to establish themselves with shared customers in Denmark, but also hope the cooperation expands into the European market in the future. They aim to have the first customer in Denmark in place within the next six months.
