Grocery retailer Rimi continues to invest in StrongPoint self-checkout tech including cash handling capabilities

Rimi (part of ICA Group), has placed an order with StrongPoint to supply and install its self-checkout solutions in the Baltic-based grocery retailer’s stores.

The value of the order is approximately EUR 2.3 million, excluding implementation and future technical support revenue. Delivery and installation are scheduled for 2025.

Rimi has been using StrongPoint self-checkouts for over five years, showcasing the solution’s proven reliability and customer convenience. The new order includes 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 our self-checkout solution. 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,” says Rimantas Mažulis, SVP at StrongPoint Baltics.

“We are excited to continue our partnership with StrongPoint by investing in self-checkout solutions. 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 solutions that meet the diverse needs of our shoppers,” says Zane Ermansone, Digital Development Director at Rimi Baltic.

“The Baltics are demonstrating how StrongPoint’s next-generation solution 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 solutions. We look forward to helping these markets transition to next-generation technology to enhance efficiency and the customer experience,” says Jacob Tveraabak, CEO at StrongPoint.

2024 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

StrongPoint was among the winners at the sixth edition of the RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, sponsored by Vista Technology Support, Scala, CADS, 3D Cloud, Brightpearl by Sage’s Lightning 50, Business France, and Retail Technology Show 2025, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended last week’s gathering.
