Case Study: Waitrose keeps checkout queues moving with Datalogic Magellan 5-sided scanning

Waitrose & Partners deploys 2,900 Datalogic Magellan scanners to keep queues moving

Waitrose & Partners, a leading UK food retailer, sought to improve checkout efficiency and reduce customer wait times. They partnered with Datalogic to address challenges with scanning poorly printed, damaged, or hard-to-read barcodes on a wide variety of products.

Datalogic implemented its Magellan 8200 scanner/scales featuring five-sided scanning and OmegaTek decoding software. This solution significantly improved first-pass read rates, allowing for faster processing of difficult items. The reliable performance and scratch-resistant Sapphire glass of the Datalogic scanners ensured sustained efficiency, contributing to a quicker and more pleasant checkout experience for Waitrose customers.
