Baltic-based grocery retailer Rimi has ordered €2.3m of self-checkout machines from Norwegian company StrongPoint

Delivery and installation are scheduled for 2025.

Rimi, part of the ICA Group, has been using StrongPoint self-checkouts for more than five years, due to proven reliability and customer convenience. With this new order, Rimi is further scaling and rolling out of self-checkouts, including self-checkouts with cash-handling capabilities, as cash management remains an important aspect of the checkout process in the region.

“We are thrilled that Rimi continues to invest in StrongPoint’s self-checkouts,” said Rimantas Mažulis, senior vice president of StrongPoint in the Baltics. “Their trust in us inspires our continued commitment to innovation and excellence as we share a common goal of making the shopping experience as smooth as possible.”

Zane Ermansone, digital development director at Rimi (www.rimi.lv), added: “We are excited to continue our partnership with StrongPoint by investing in self-checkouts. This decision underscores our commitment to enhancing the shopping experience for our customers. By integrating cash handling capabilities, we ensure that our checkout process remains convenient and accessible for everyone as Rimi focus is always on providing reliable, user-friendly options that meet the diverse needs of our shoppers.”

And Jacob Tveraabak, CEO of StrongPoint (www.strongpoint.com), said: “The Baltics are demonstrating how StrongPoint’s next-generation option make self-checkout faster and easier for customers. In many of our core markets, including the UK, Sweden and Norway, grocery retailers often still rely on first-generation options. We look forward to helping these markets transition to next-generation technology to enhance efficiency and the customer experience.”
