8.4 Quick Order Subsystem

While shopping, a user may choose to place a quick order through the Quick Order subsystem.

The shopper identifies, through the quick order mechanism, the products and the

quantities/weights of those products they wish to order. The quick order can then be sent to the

appropriate department, where a web screen displays to store personnel the orders placed by

shoppers. After they have finished processing the order, store personnel can send a message to

the shopper that their order is ready. This is an optional feature.

8.5 Queue Busting Subsystem

The Queue Busting application allows the PSS System to be used in a slightly different manner

than normal, but also helps retailers and shoppers reduce the amount of check–out time. Any

hand held terminal which has been released can be used for queue busting. This is normally

done by store personnel to alleviate long check out lines which may have formed.

Transactions in this mode are initiated by scanning a special (configurable) barcode. More than

one barcode can be configured for use in this manner. This barcode is expected to be on a plastic

token. Once the special barcode has been scanned, the items in the customer basket are scanned.

A PSS transaction is created in the same manner as a normal PSS transaction. After all items in

the basket have been scanned, the special barcode, which began this mode, is scanned again.

This transaction is sent to the POS System. The plastic token containing the barcode is then

handed to the customer with instructions to give it to the cashier at the check-out register. When

the customer reaches the register, they present the token and their loyalty card (if used) to the

cashier who then performs a standard non-audit self scan check out. After the customer checks

out, the token can be reused for other customers.

There are no methods written specifically for queue busting. The hand held application

differentiates between a normal shopping trip and a queue busting session.
