"Datalogic is happy to offer the Joya X1 Self-shopping device that will enhance and positively impact the total shopping experience, building a strong base of customer loyalty for the retailers."

Customers will have access to all previously scanned products and the ability to monitor up-to-date totals, additional store offers, promotions and discounts.

Payment is easily accomplished by either handing the Joya X1device to a cashier to cash out, or visiting a self-service payment kiosk.
