/ Our solutions
The checkout process in garden centres and DIY stores has a different dynamic to other sectors within retail and places different demands on the front-end. Pan Oston has specialised in effective, fast and flexible customer interaction systems for the garden and DIY sector since 1969, and is at the forefront of new developments in checkout, self-service and kiosk solutions for retailers.
Garden centres and DIY stores set themselves apart by offering customers inspiration, expert advice and an enjoyable shopping experience. With a modern and efficient checkout environment, you can ensure that customers can pay quickly, easily and in the way that suits them best, rounding off their visit on a positive note.
At Pan Oston, we develop checkout solutions specifically designed for environments where ease of use, capacity and reliability are essential. For garden centres and DIY stores, our product ranges offer a variety of options for creating a future-proof checkout environment.
A well-designed checkout area has a significant impact on both the customer experience and operational efficiency at modern garden centres and DIY stores. Customers arrive with a wide variety of purchases: from a single box of screws or a small plant to full trolleys of building materials, potting compost or seasonal items. This calls for a checkout environment that offers flexibility and caters to different customer needs.
Self-service is playing an increasingly important role, but there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. The ideal balance between traditional checkouts and self-checkouts depends on factors such as customer flow, peak periods, store format, floor space and the type of purchases your customers make. The challenge is to create a checkout area that minimises waiting times, improves throughput and, at the same time, allows for personalised service where needed.
At Pan Oston, we understand the specific requirements of garden centres and DIY stores. We know that no two situations are the same, which is why we provide customised advice. Our consultants have in-depth knowledge of checkout systems in these sectors and will help you make the right choices for your front-end.
We specialise in designing optimal configurations in which checkouts, self-checkouts and service points are perfectly coordinated. This creates a checkout area that aligns with your business objectives and your customers’ expectations.
With an optimally designed checkout area, you can make a real difference in terms of customer satisfaction, efficiency and future-proofing.
