consumers are ready for this type of disruptive technology, and will embrace
mobile self-checkout to make the in-store retail experience faster, easier and
more informative," said Andrew Paradise, AisleBuyer CEO and founder.
"By combining the benefits of an online shopping experience with the
immediate gratification of an in-store purchase, retailers are now better
poised to compete with their online counterparts." During Black Friday

smartphone users chose mobile self-checkout instead of using the traditional
cash register (12 percent of all transactions).
