Why you might use a Scanner at market or at a farm store

Speed

The most obvious reason to scan products on checkout is speed. Compared to manually entering products by name and typing several characters out, the scan is instantaneous. This is particularly important for farms and stores offering many products, and many similarly named products (types of jam, for instance)

Customers are often in a rush and are sensitive to a checkout experience that feels disorganized or slow. A scanner can help to speed and professionalize checkout providing a better customer experience.

Accuracy

If you're offering many type of products and varieties of the same product, it can be easy for you or your employees to enter the wrong product on checkout. Entering products incorrectly is problematic for 1) your inventory 2) the customer's sense of trust 3) accuracy of your sales records. 

By adding product codes to your GrownBy Register database and implementing a scanner, you'll put your store on track for more accurate and fast checkout experienes.
