Case Study: a U.S. convenience store chain boosts POS productivity with Datalogic Magellan 1100i readers

Convenience Store Pushes POS System into the Future with Magellan™ 1100i Readers

Facing issues with outdated laser scanners that were costly to maintain and unable to read 2D barcodes, a major U.S. convenience store chain sought to upgrade its POS hardware. The legacy equipment was slowing down checkout productivity and preventing the retailer from participating in modern applications like mobile couponing.

The chain chose Datalogic and implemented its Magellan 1100i presentation scanners. The solution provided omnidirectional scanning, plug-and-play compatibility with existing systems, and the critical ability to read 2D symbologies from sources like mobile phones. As a result, Datalogic helped the retailer significantly increase cashier productivity, reduce training time for new operators, and enabled future participation in customer loyalty programs. Over 2,000 units were successfully installed across North America.
