Lotte Innovate announced on the 8th that it will introduce an Android-based cloud POS (Point of Sale) system for the first time in the convenience store industry. This system will be initially implemented in 7-Eleven stores, and the company plans to accelerate the transition to smart stores through this initiative.

Unlike the Windows-based POS systems predominantly used by domestic convenience stores, this new POS operates on the Android operating system (OS). Its intuitive operation and familiar environment, akin to smartphones or tablet PCs, allow store owners to use it easily. Additionally, by leveraging Android's open structure, it allows for more flexible business expansion than existing POS systems, and various apps can be integrated to enhance store operation efficiency.

Designed with a cloud structure, this POS enhances data security and simplifies system updates and maintenance. The hardware is crafted in a lightweight tablet-type detachable structure, allowing for easy mobility and flexible placement according to store environments. Features reflecting store owners' feedback include ▲ 'My Menu,' which allows the configuration of frequently used menus, and ▲ 'Dark Mode,' which reduces eye strain during nighttime use.

Lotte Innovate plans to introduce the system to new 7-Eleven stores this year and expand its application to stores nationwide in the future.

A representative from Lotte Innovate stated, “This Android cloud POS is not just a simple system transition but a turning point that presents a new standard for convenience store operations. We plan to integrate digital technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence)-based personalized advertising to simultaneously enhance operational efficiency and customer experience in the future.”
