GK was recently ranked as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Point-of-Sale Vendors in Grocery and Food Store Retail 2022 Vendor Assessment. The IDC MarketScape report evaluates enterprise POS solution providers in the global grocery industry based on how IT buyers perceive the benefits of the POS Software, as well as the providers' strategy and commitment to enabling retailers' ongoing omnichannel success.
The COVID-19 pandemic shifted customers' priorities forever, increasing their focus on convenience and in-store efficiency. To meet customer demands, retailers were forced to implement high-tech self-checkout options, mobile and on-demand ordering solutions, advanced delivery and BOPIS strategies and more.
So, what makes IDC consider GK a leader in point-of-sale for grocers looking to innovate? Let's take a look at some of our top grocery solutions.

GK SPOT makes this easy by tracking all customer interactions across sales channels and storing them in a cloud-based data lake that is easy for both retailers and customers to utilize for real-time queries and personalized offers.
Offering Convenience and Innovation with GK GO
Shoppers are often in a rush – rushing to get dinner on their way home from work or rushing to get that missing ingredient for the already in-progress recipe waiting back at home. By eliminating the checkout line, the time spent in the grocery store decreases significantly. To meet the needs of the shopper on-the-go, grocers can implement GK GO, a scanless store format that allows shoppers to grab the items on their list and walk out, paying automatically on their phone without ever waiting in line.
GK GO stands apart from the competition because GK's scanless solution keeps customers up to date on the contents of their basket and all relevant information including price, related items, total cost so far, and promotions and coupons that have been redeemed.
