We discussed a self-service format for our shops long ago, but several years to postpone this idea were forced. As soon as this intention became economically reasonable, our management decided to implement the system of self-service. A role was played also by the expected deficit of cashiers in the market. Cash desks of self-service easily solve this problem. They best of all are suitable for small purchases, allow to unload the classical cash register line and to reduce queues. We needed the modern equipment with acceptance of cash, an opportunity to give change and to accept payment according to the card, with fast scanners and the thought-over software. We received all this from our contractors — CSI and BELKS companies which in 2 months started the system of self-service in two of our shops.

The next stage — to achieve planned targets of system effectiveness of self-service. Experts of CSI and Belkristallservice will work on it. On the basis of the reached indicators the retailer will make the decision on further start of a system of self-service in other shops of network.
