Vensafe in-Store Product Collection

The increase of self-checkouts within modern stores provides a foundation for customers to securely self-serve the purchase of tobacco and other age restricted products.

Some retailers have dedicated tobacco counters to handle all tobacco product sales and often heavily manual processes for the handling other age restricted items. That’s expensive and creates a disrupted shopping experience where queues often get long.

Select & Collect solves these challenges by enabling age-controlled and high-theft products to be purchased through self-checkout and collected from a secure in-store collection point. This enables retailers to boost in-store efficiencies, increase the safety of their store staff, reduce sales to minors, and control in-store thefts.

Efficient and responsible tobacco sales

Vensafe by StrongPoint offers a responsible and secure way of selling tobacco without having the physical products at each checkout. This enables you to sell tobacco from all checkouts (including self-checkouts). Now your customers can include it in their regular shopping.

The solution is compliant with market regulations and the products are hidden at all time and can only be accessed after verifying the customer’s age and that the products are fully paid for. Also, the electronic price list is displayed according to regulations. That creates secure, efficient and responsible tobacco sales.

Reduced tobacco visibility

Reduces visibility to minors as an alternative to a large tobacco kiosk with clear tobacco signage

Public safety information

The customer screen can be configured to include public health and safety warnings to help deter tobacco consumption.

Improved operations

Since all products are stored at the same place your replenishment is much faster. As the system keeps track of your stock you do not have to take stock manually.

Zero shrinkage

The products are only available after payment which makes theft impossible. The system also tracks all door openings, minimising internal theft.

Convenient shopping experience

Vensafe is easy to use and allows the customer to purchase tobacco from any checkout (including the self-checkouts). No more need to stand in line to a separate tobacco counter.

Responsible tobacco sales

The products are hidden and the picklist can be set in “plain mode” where no product images are displayed. Software updates keeps the system ready for new legislations.

Securing other age-controlled or high-value products

Ensure security on age-restricted and high-value products such as: knives, pharmaceuticals, razor blades, lighters, matches, vaping products, tobacco papers, and alcohol.
