FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
iRetailCheck presents SCO-Check® 2.0, the world’s first standalone scan-avoidance detection solution for self-checkout at Retail Technology Show in London, April 22-23rd.
First Standalone Visual AI Solution Targets scan-avoidance losses at Self-Checkout
London, United Kingdom April 2026: iRetailCheck is officially launching SCO-Check® 2.0, the first standalone Visual AI solution to detect non-scan loss at self-checkout that doesn’t need complex native POS software integration.
To be presented live at Retail Technology Show 2026 at Excel, London, England, the solution addresses one of grocery retail’s most persistent front-end checkout challenges: scan-avoidance loss.
As self-checkout adoption has accelerated, so too have scan-avoidance losses. In the past, retailers have relied on monolithic POS integration models, scales, exception reporting, or manual supervision - approaches that are complex, resource intensive, and difficult to scale, especially across mixed SCO estates.
SCO-Check 2.0 represents a revolution in scan-avoidance detection.
Driven by advanced Vision-Language Models that deliver visual reasoning and multi-modal intelligence, SCO-Check functions as an add-on layer of protection to existing POS platforms, without the need for integration with a specific POS software ecosystem. Importantly, it’s SCO brand and format agnostic, allowing deployment across diverse multi-brand POS estates.
Key Benefits:
· Standalone scan-avoidance, non-scan and barcode swapping detection
· No complex monolithic POS integration or resource heavy SKU mapping
· Adaptability to mixed-brand SCO estates
· Multi-directional item tracking & scan avoidance detection
· Real-time local, mobile, & remote event notifications adaptable to operational needs
· Designed to be scalable and future proof by design
According to iRetailCheck, the solution is designed to cater for high-volume supermarket environments where reducing shrink must align with operational efficiency. SCO-Check aims to reduce unnecessary staff interventions and provide clearer visibility into front-end performance.
At Retail Technology Show 2026, visitors can see live, real-time non-scan detection in operation on the company’s stand — not simulated footage, but active self-checkout monitoring.
SCO-Check is part of the broader iRetailCheck Visual AI portfolio, which automates monitoring across key front-end control points including self-checkout zones (Walk-through events), staffed checkouts (in-cart theft detection), and store entrances / non-payment lanes (pushout events).
With retailers under increasing pressure to protect margins while maintaining frictionless customer journeys, SCO-Check 2.0 signals a structural shift in combatting scan-avoidance loss.
