SHANGHAI, China – May 28, 2014 – NCR Corporation, the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, today announced that it has won a self-checkout pilot project from Rainbow Department Store. After an initial test phase, the self-checkout solution will be available at the newly opened Hangzhou Rainbow Shopping Mall by the middle of this year.

In kicking off the self-checkout pilot project, Rainbow Department Store intends to create a faster and more convenient checkout option for its shoppers through the use of advanced technology.
