The partnership with Toshiba evolved in 2023 with the integration of more Self Checkout System 7 solutions across all Metcalfe’s locations.
This expansion is supported by collaborations with North Country Business Products (NCBP) and LOC Software, aiming to use the system’s data-driven capabilities and loyalty programmes.
Since introducing self-checkout in 2016, Metcalfe’s has seen a steady increase in customer usage, prompting the addition of eight new self-checkout lanes across three stores in 2024.
