Digital documents and measurable eco KPIs

Switch to digital receipts

With BEEP! Customers automatically receive digital receipts as a PDF or directly in the app, completely eliminating the need for paper receipts. With 10,000 transactions per month, this results in a saving of over 15 kilograms of paper — and at the same time reduces printer maintenance and consumables.

Identify savings potential

Calculate the paper costs per transaction regularly and compare the CO₂ emissions of a printed receipt with the digital counterpart. In practice, this means a noticeable reduction in ongoing operating costs and an improved environmental balance.

Making sustainability measurable

Eco indicators such as coupon waiver rate, CO₂ savings per month in kilograms of CO₂e and progress indicators are automatically displayed in the retailer dashboard. This data provides the basis for reporting and sustainability communication, for example in CSR reports or stakeholder updates.

Use energy-efficient hardware

Choosing low-energy devices

Use energy-efficient, certified point-of-sale terminals and scanners with low power consumption. Battery-operated handheld scanners with Power Save mode further reduce energy consumption and are ideal for flexible shop concepts.

Smart charging cycles and centralized control

Devices with an automatic sleep function outside peak hours further reduce energy consumption. About the central BEEP! Management Portal allows charging cycles to be coordinated and operating times adapted to the actual flow of customers.

Durability and maintenance

Predictive maintenance messages provide early warning of wear and tear. Modular components significantly extend the life cycle of the devices. This lowers maintenance costs and reduces electronic waste during operation.

‍

Transparent supply chains and product sustainability

Make origin and CO₂ values visible

Customers can find out about a product's CO2 footprint directly on the shelf using a QR code. This transparency creates trust and strengthens the credibility of sustainable brand management.

Integrate fair trade and ecological labels

The BEEP! App automatically recognizes certified items and marks them as particularly sustainable during the checkout process. As a result, there is a greater focus on fair trade, organic and regional products and increases the visibility of sustainable product ranges.

Digital traceability

The integration of blockchain tracking enables immutable evidence of supply chain data. Retailers can integrate existing supplier portals and thus set up a transparent, forgery-proof information system.

‍

Sustainability as a marketing advantage

Green retail as a unique selling point

Actively communicate paperless self-checkout as an environmental benefit. Place digital eco badges on your website and in your app to clearly identify sustainable processes. This not only improves your brand perception, but can also increase your visibility in the SERP features.

Campaigns related to the environment

Organize seasonal campaigns such as “Scan and Save the Planet” with donations to environmental organizations. Reward customers who opt for digital receipts with small incentives such as discount coupons or loyalty points.

Sustainability communication and PR

Publish sustainability reports regularly with eco key figures from your dashboard. Press releases about measurable successes, such as an 80 percent receipt waiver rate, strengthen your brand's positioning in the competition for sustainable market leadership.
