LOC Software, a leading retail management software provider, and Diebold Nixdorf (NYSE: DBD) have joined forces to simplify self-checkout solution implementation for retailers. Based on its open platform approach for checkout solutions, this strategic partnership will enable Diebold Nixdorf to easily run LOC’s ThriVersA software natively on the company’s self-checkout and kiosk systems.
LOC’s retail management software is designed to be used as a single database for transactions on Diebold Nixdorf’s self-service solutions, point-of-sale (POS) terminals or mobile devices. Additionally, its flexible screen design allows both cashiers and customers to easily navigate the checkout process, helping stores optimize retail performance.
Diebold Nixdorf’s self-checkout and kiosk systems are highly modular and open, delivering industry-leading uptime and reliability. This allows Grocery and C-store operators to confidently deploy self-service solutions. In addition to the recently announced new retail production line in its manufacturing facility in North Canton, Ohio, Diebold Nixdorf also prioritizes service support, employing more than 2,000 technicians in North America to provide prompt, expert service when necessary.
Yves Bourdua, vice president, product management and vendor alliance at LOC Software, said: “Both Diebold Nixdorf and LOC are committed to innovation. We will be exploring additional ways to enhance checkout processes and deliver value through our partnership.”
Ed McCabe, head of retail sales North America at Diebold Nixdorf, said: “The Open Retailing approach is a key element of Diebold Nixdorf’s self-service solution design, ensuring a smooth interaction of both solutions. This strategic alliance brings significant value to retailers as they can easily combine software from LOC with our industry-leading self-service technology solutions.”
