Partner Tech Middle East FZCO and Arch Retail Solutions Bring AI-Powered Retail Transformation to the Region

The Dubai AI Festival will unite the brightest minds in artificial intelligence to explore the future of smart technologies. Among the standout innovations is Starling SCO, a next-generation AI-powered self-checkout system that’s already transforming retail operations in South Africa and beyond.

Through a powerful partnership between Partner Tech Middle East FZCO and Arch Retail Solutions, Starling SCO brings intelligent automation to the front lines of retail—streamlining operations, reducing shrinkage, and enhancing customer satisfaction.

With AI-driven basket validation, secure multi-tender transactions, and advanced fraud prevention, this solution eliminates the vulnerabilities of legacy SCO platforms and delivers an elevated checkout experience.

“Retail is evolving rapidly,” said a representative of Partner Tech Middle East. “Our joint solution with Arch Retail brings true AI functionality to self-checkout—not just speed and convenience, but real-time decision-making that minimizes risk and maximizes efficiency.”
