Business Situation

Solution
Scanning Products
alligatortek has developed a checkout screen to enable the user to scan a product using a bar code reader. When a product is scanned, the system displays a visual image on the screen. This allows for easy confirmation of the scanned result. The solution is implemented using industry standard file formats and processing approaches.
Screen Design
alligatortek has designed a checkout screen that covers the entire real estate of the monitor. This approach effectively simulates the look of a familiar cash register. A screen saver displays the Crown logo during idle time.
