Using Innovative’s intelligent note and coin recyclers we decided to create a complete, all-in-one solution that customers can simply plug in and use straight away. It can be used standalone or connected to a checkout and can be easily customised to suit your business. We will be offering Self’Pay to retailers with a back-office software tool developed by us. The total solution is affordable, secure, fast, and easy to install thanks to the compact footprint.”
