By Sam Articles 0 Comments

MEFERI successfully participated in NRF 2026: Retail’s Big Show, held January 11–13 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York. The exhibition brought together global retail leaders, technology providers, and innovators shaping the future of retail automation and customer experience.

At NRF 2026, MEFERI showcased a comprehensive portfolio of hardware and software solutions designed to help retailers increase revenue, reduce operational costs, and improve in-store efficiency.

Self-Scanning Solutions That Transform the In-Store Experience

A key highlight of MEFERI’s booth was the CIAO self-scanning solution, designed for modern self-service retail environments.

The solution enables shoppers to scan products independently while shopping, significantly reducing checkout time by up to 60%. By eliminating friction at checkout, retailers benefit from:

Increased customer satisfaction and loyalty
Higher store throughput during peak hours
Revenue growth of up to 15%, driven by improved shopping flow and repeat visits

CIAO operates in combination with MEFERI’s MC45 Mounted Computer, installed at the store entrance. The MC45 enables secure customer authorization using:

NFC bank cards (tap-to-enter)
Loyalty cards
QR codes from mobile applications

Once authorized, the system unlocks a fully charged CIAO device from the charging wall. Only devices with 100% battery charge are released, ensuring uninterrupted use throughout the shopping journey. The CIAO device features a 6800 mAh battery, allowing customers to shop comfortably without interruptions.

The solution also supports direct payment on the device, further reducing dependency on traditional checkout counters.

Inventory management and cycle counting
Price checks and relabeling
In-store operations and customer assistance

MEFERI offers solutions for short-, mid-, and long-range scanning, enabling retailers to optimize workflows across different environments, from sales floors to dark stores and back-of-house areas.

By accelerating daily operations and reducing manual errors, MEFERI mobile computers help retailers save time, improve service quality, and increase staff productivity.

Android POS and Flexible In-Store Service Points

Android POS can be deployed anywhere in the store and allows staff to:

Assist customers directly on the sales floor
Change prices and manage promotions
Complete purchases and issue receipts
Generate QR codes for fast checkout

This flexibility enables retailers to reduce queues, improve customer service, and create a more dynamic shopping environment.
