Case Study: Eurospin achieves more efficient and consistent POS weighing with Datalogic Magellan 8400

Uniformity and Coherence in Stores Bring Cost Saving to Management and Customers

Eurospin, the largest discount grocery group in Italy, sought to modernize its point-of-sale systems across its 800+ stores. Their challenge was to install a consistent and coherent POS technology that could also manage the weighing of items directly at the checkout to improve management control and efficiency. They partnered with vendor Datalogic to implement a solution using the Magellan 8400 bi-optic scanner.

The solution implemented by Datalogic was the Magellan 8400 scanner configured with its All-Weighs scale platter. This allowed cashiers to accurately weigh bulky produce directly at the POS, with the weight and price displayed and printed on the bill. The results included drastically reduced costs for customers, an improved gross margin from more accurate weighing, and excellent customer perception of the service. Over 3,000 Datalogic scanners were installed, positioning Eurospin for future innovation.
