Self-checkout is playing an increasingly important role in how many retailers scale store operations. Extended operational hours, rising transaction volumes, and omnichannel fulfilment have changed what it means to run a store. Today, scale is measured less by store count and more by how consistently stores perform across formats, locations, and time zones. Across retail, leaders are seeing the same patterns emerge:
- Self-checkout driving a growing share of transactions
- Stores operating beyond traditional hours
- Associates overseeing multiple customer journeys at once
This shift calls for a new store operating model—one that balances automation with visibility and customer autonomy with operational control.
Oracle Retail Xstore POS v25 introduces enhancements that support expanded self-checkout usage and stores configured for continuous operations, strengthening store execution for self-service–led environments.
