SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 21, 2025 – German swimwear and leisure specialist BECO Beermann GmbH & Co. KG has introduced “SCAN AND COLLECT,” a fully digital sales solution for swimming pools and leisure facilities designed to eliminate the need for a traditional retail counter. The system enables guests to scan a QR code, browse products on their smartphones, pay instantly, and collect their items within minutes — all without physical checkout interaction.
A New Digital Retail Model for Pool Operators
The SCAN AND COLLECT system creates a “shop without a shop.” Guests can access the digital product catalog by scanning a simple QR code displayed on a poster at the pool entrance, lawn, or restaurant. Orders are processed in real time, with pickup available at a designated collection point.
For operators, the model reduces operational complexity: no cash registers, sales staff, or retail space are required. BECO supplies the merchandise and manages digital shop configuration, while existing personnel simply distribute purchased items.
Flexible Setup and Minimal Maintenance
The technology requires only a stable Wi-Fi or mobile connection and minimal setup. Once installed, the platform runs autonomously, allowing operators to update products or promotional offers seasonally. Posters can be customized for each location or event, giving even small facilities a professional digital sales presence without added staff costs.
Efficient Payment and Transparent Reporting
Payment is processed through Pay with ME, a third-party provider supporting major payment methods including Apple Pay, PayPal, and credit cards. Sales are automatically recorded and settled monthly, with full transparency via an online operator portal.
Operators can track:
- All customer orders and sales activity
- Current inventory levels
- Real-time revenue reports
This seamless digital workflow provides a data-driven view of product performance, enabling better stocking decisions and improved financial oversight.
Smart Retail for Every Size of Facility
“SCAN AND COLLECT is the ideal solution for smaller pools that cannot operate their own shop but still want to offer guests a range of swim and leisure products,” explains the BECO team. “At the same time, it’s an efficient add-on for larger facilities with existing sales points — simple, flexible, and with minimal effort.”
The system’s simplicity and scalability make it attractive to both municipal and privately operated facilities — from community pools to resort complexes. It turns any poolside area into a digital point of sale, extending retail opportunities without infrastructure investment.
Aligning with Industry Trends in Contactless Commerce
BECO’s launch comes as hospitality and leisure operators increasingly adopt contactless, self-service solutions to streamline operations and enhance visitor convenience. With digital-first experiences becoming standard across sectors, SCAN AND COLLECT aligns with the broader movement toward autonomous, low-touch retail environments that integrate digital convenience with on-site service.
