Elo, Now Integrating with Zebra Technologies, to Launch Innovative Retail Solutions at NRF 2026
Elo, a renowned name in interactive solutions, recently integrated with Zebra Technologies, and is set to showcase a lineup of innovative products during the NRF 2026 event from January 11 to 13. Known for its commitment to enhancing retail experiences, Elo will present its offerings at booth #5803 in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, New York City. The unveiling will include advanced self-checkout systems and state-of-the-art payment solutions aimed to streamline operations in retail, grocery, and hospitality sectors.
As Elo enters this new phase under Zebra's umbrella, the synergy between these two companies is expected to create a comprehensive technology ecosystem. This unified vision aims to enhance enterprise workflows and optimize customer interactions through robust data intelligence. Businesses now have access to an end-to-end solution that includes cutting-edge performance metrics, analytics, and workforce management tools.
One of the highlights is the Wallaby® Self-Checkout (SCO), which exemplifies Elo's leadership in the self-service market. This platform is designed specifically for high-volume retail environments, combining an aesthetically pleasing modular design with high durability. The Wallaby SCO focuses on operational continuity, allowing retailers to maintain uptime and meet customer expectations seamlessly. Its purpose-built features will surely appeal to businesses looking to enhance their self-checkout experiences in a competitive market.
"At this year’s NRF, we are ready to present a powerful lineup of modular solutions designed to accommodate every retail touchpoint," said Craig Witsoe, CEO of Elo. He emphasized the operational flexibility and simplicity that these products promise, while ensuring that businesses remain scalable and adaptive to future challenges."
In addition to the Wallaby SCO, Elo will also introduce two more products targeting interactive solutions. The Elo Pay Z30 Tap to Pay terminal will expand the existing Elo Pay family, integrating tap-to-pay functionality into a sleek and efficient design. This Android-based solution ensures fast, secure, and contactless transactions while allowing for seamless integration across payment systems. The addition of both merchant-facing and customer-facing displays further enhances its usability.
Another exciting product, the Elo Backpack® with Intel®, offers an enterprise-grade computing solution for Elo touchscreens. This compact device transforms display screens ranging from 7 inches to 65 inches into complete interactive systems that can support a variety of applications, from digital signage to kitchen display systems. This versatility ensures businesses can standardize operations across different platforms while meeting diverse consumer needs.
Elo’s new Edge Connect® 10-Key Keypad will also play a significant role in improving points of sale at checkout stations. Designed to enhance efficiency for various tasks like price entries or adjustments, this keypad integrates ergonomically with the existing Elo systems while maintaining a sleek appearance.
Elo's commitment to innovation and customer-centric design is underscored by the availability of EloCare® service options, offering customers priority support and extended warranties. The timing of these launches could not be better, as businesses are eager for solutions that can digitize and automate day-to-day operations effectively.
Elo's advancements set the stage for a transformative period in retail and leisure markets. As organizations increasingly seek intelligent solutions, Elo's partnership with Zebra Technologies is poised to lead the way in establishing more connected, efficient, and engaging customer experiences.
