Business Wire
Phillips 66 and retailer Mach 1 are transforming the checkout
experience at fuel and convenience stores with the launch of an
automated, AI-powered bulk scanning self-checkout solution. NCR
Voyix Corporation (NYSE: VYX), a leading global provider of digital
commerce solutions for the retail and restaurant industries,
announced that the best-in-class computer vision solution, NCR
Voyix Halo Checkout, has been live at a select Phillips 66®
branded Mach 1 station since November 2024. The solution is
available now for pre-order across the US, Canada, UK and EU.
This advanced checkout solution’s artificial intelligence
accurately identifies products, ensuring the customer checkout
experience is always fast and frictionless. “Customers want a
checkout process that prioritizes them as shoppers, and NCR Voyix
Halo delivers exactly that,” said Alan Meyer, CEO of Mach 1.
“Shorter transaction times mean happier customers and more
productive store operations.”
The NCR Voyix Halo Checkout solution with Everseen’s vision AI
and product recognition technology is engineered to transform the
checkout process. Capable of detecting, bulk-scanning and pricing
up to 20 products simultaneously, it ensures seamless and precise
transactions while minimizing unintentional errors and reducing
shrinkage. NCR Voyix Halo’s patented design integrates Everseen’s
industry-leading Evershow technology, using cameras to recognize
products placed in any orientation and instantly scans them into an
itemized list, providing an accurate total amount due, and a
seamless process. It drastically reduces the friction of checkout
and can decrease the amount of time a consumer spends at checkout
by nearly 50%.1
“We’re helping retailers stay ahead of the curve with retail
AI,” said Alan O’Herlihy, founder and CEO of Everseen. “By
collaborating with NCR Voyix, we’re delivering the future of
checkout— an innovative, frictionless experience that meets the
expectations of today’s savvy shoppers, all while maintaining the
high standards of service that consumers expect.”
The platform also integrates a comprehensive learning model that
leverages advanced computer vision and machine learning to provide
retailers with real-time insights and operational efficiencies. Key
benefits of NCR Voyix Halo include:
- Enhanced Shopping Experience: Leveraging the NCR Voyix
Commerce Platform, unprecedented checkout speeds can be achieved
with the NCR Voyix Halo. Additionally, Phillips 66 is now able to
offer a personalized shopping experience through alternative
product suggestions and an intuitive interface that supports a
range of packaging sizes for a seamless, frictionless checkout
process. Customers enjoy faster checkouts with fewer disruptions,
making convenience stores even more convenient.
- High Accuracy Recognition: The system utilizes state of
the art AI from Everseen to deliver unparallelled product
recognition. “Attendant-Based Learning” – intuitive capability that
allows store associates to update the product model by quickly
training it with new items – makes in-store operation of NCR Voyix
Halo quick and easy.
- Intuitive and Self Learning Model: NCR Voyix Halo’s
powerful model continually improves using “Transaction-Based
Learning” to increase prediction accuracy. The AI model does this
by learning new items or seasonal packaging from transaction data
when these items are scanned by the shopper.
- Operational Efficiency: The technology operates
passively in the background, ensuring no disruptions to customer
flow, transactions, or associate tasks, delivering an accurate and
seamless experience. It also minimizes loss through advanced
monitoring with computer vision cameras, reducing shrinkage and
unintentional errors. NCR Voyix Halo Checkout is available as a
table top offering or an add-on on top of an existing
self-checkout. Our design empowers retailers to experiment with new
modalities such as computer vision checkout and de-risk their
investment by scaling up or down based on their shopper feedback
and store demographics.
“NCR Voyix is committed to helping retailers modernize the
shopping experience and meet shoppers’ high expectations,” said
David Wilkinson, CEO of NCR Voyix. “Directly integrating Everseen’s
industry-leading AI supports our goal of delivering effortless
transactions— all with a fast time-to-market and simplified
technology rollout. We always strive to enable and empower our
retailers to offer choice and flexibility to their shoppers.”
The launch at Phillips 66 is part of NCR Voyix’s broader mission
to drive innovations that enhance the customer experience for all
customers. NCR Voyix Halo allows retailers to offer their customers
greater choice in checkout technology while protecting and
leveraging their existing investments. This pilot rollout
reinforces NCR Voyix’s leadership position in self-checkout and
underscores its commitment to delivering transformative retail and
restaurant technologies that promote inclusivity and choice. For

sizes ranging from 1-9 items. The system begins product recognition
once it detects motion has stopped, and the last item is placed on
the tray. Timing was measured from the last item placed through to
virtual receipt being generated. The eight seconds is the average
time, across the variance of 1-9 items.
