Abacus Solutions International has formed a partnership to deliver its Lottery Everywhere service to Fujitsu U-SCAN self-service retail customers. 

Abacus’ Lottery Service is based on the Fusion Platform and brings together retailers, lotteries and vendors to ensure that lottery games can be played at retail locations in a seamless fashion. 

Bringing together Abacus’ Lottery Service with Fujitsu’s U-SCAN terminals ensures that North American players can have access to easy-to-use self-service checkouts to play lottery games on. With self-service checkouts now a must-have for retailers in the modern age, this deal seeks to modernise the retail lottery experience. 

“The partnership with Fujitsu and their U-SCAN software allows us to offer retailers the Abacus managed lottery services in a simple and effective way, cutting significant effort and time for retailers and allowing them to realize increased sales and a broader, more integrated way of selling lottery to their customers,” said Simon Butler, Abacus CEO.

Fujitsu’s U-SCAN is a software platform that operates on both Fujitsu and third-party self-checkout environments, allowing retailers to deliver more efficient, supportable and higher-performing retail experiences to their customers. 

Shuhei Oyake, President and CEO of Fujitsu Frontech North America, commented: “Fujitsu Frontech North America continues to lead the digital transformation of retail technology by offering our customers simplified self-service options designed to be used in any store environment. 

“Through our partnership with Abacus, we are excited to be able to offer our retail customers a quick and simple way to introduce lottery everywhere. This powerful tool will provide retail customers with the self-service options they want, while helping retailers increase revenue.”
