Yup, that's the one.

I think where I live it's a company that offers the whole thing white label to supermarket and other shops. The systems are very similar across a bunch of different stores, but the branding is specific to the store. So their logo, their colors. Not just on all the UIs (both the scanner and the checkout), but also the physical hardware colors.

The hand scanners all run Android, the other day I got one that said Google Play Services had crashed. The scanner itself is probably made by Zebra and then customized by the company providing the scan and checkout solution.

It has become super common around here, to the point where I'm annoyed when it isn't an option and I have to use the self-checkout where you need to scan at the checkout.

@Thorry84 Yeah .. I think their apps even offer it as a feature so you don't have to pick up the device.
