Coop Salvatempo self-scanning service

Salvatempo is an in-store self-scanning service provided by Coop Italia, one of Italy's largest cooperative supermarket chains. Shoppers scan items as they place them into the cart using a handheld Zebra scanner, allowing for quick checkout at dedicated payment stations.

Coop Italia traces its roots back to the 19th-century cooperative movement in Italy, with the first consumer cooperative founded in Turin in 1854 and Coop Italia formally organized in 1947 in Bologna. Today, it operates as a national consortium of regional consumer cooperatives. The hardware scanner used for the Salvatempo system is produced by Zebra Technologies Corporation (headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, USA) with manufacturing typically conducted in Asian production hubs.
