Sainsbury's partners with NCR Voyix

The collaboration focuses on enhancing the shopping experience and supporting Sainsbury’s Next Level business strategy. As part of this agreement, Sainsbury’s will upgrade 22,500 checkouts with NCR Voyix's commerce platform, including point-of-sale (POS) solutions and next-generation self-checkout systems. These upgrades will be implemented across Sainsbury’s supermarkets, convenience stores, and petrol stations.

The new technologies, powered by NCR Voyix Edge software, aim to provide improved solutions for both customers and staff. Leveraging NCR Voyix’s cloud technology, Sainsbury’s will have access to real-time data and analytics, incorporating artificial intelligence to analyse sales, project future performance, enhance colleague productivity, and manage cash.

In the same month, Sainsbury’s worked with Klarna to make the latter’s payment methods available at the online checkouts of three brands, namely Argos, Habitat, and TU. Through this partnership, shoppers gained the ability to choose from Klarna’s three interest free payments, namely Pay Now, Pay Later, and Pay in 3.
