Munich, 28 October 2025 – Fintech company Rubean AG (ISIN: DE0005120802, WKN: 512080, symbol R1B:GR), Munich, a leading provider of software solutions for contactless payments on mobile devices, and shopreme GmbH, Graz/Austria, the European market leader for self-checkout and scan & go solutions, have agreed on a strategic partnership. As part of the partnership, Rubean's SoftPOS app will be integrated into shopreme's self-checkout and scan & go products. These include, in particular, the shopreme snap cart – a modular, smart shopping trolley with an integrated tablet – as well as handheld scanners such as the Zebra PS30, which are used in many retail environments.

The conventional shopping trolley is becoming intelligent with solutions from shopreme. Intelligent shopping trolleys (smart carts) are equipped with interactive screens and self-scanning with an integrated payment function. By integrating Rubean SoftPOS technology, customers in brick-and-mortar retail stores will in future be able to pay by card or smartphone on multi-purpose devices such as scanners or tablets, without the need for additional payment terminals. This saves customers the hassle of unloading and re-scanning their goods at the checkout, and retailers can gain valuable insights into their customers' shopping behaviour.

‘With shopreme, we have gained an innovative partner who shares our vision of a fully digital, secure and seamless payment process,’ says Hermann Geupel, Co-CEO of Rubean AG. ‘Our SoftPOS solution perfectly complements shopreme's modern self-checkout systems and brings real added value to both retailers and consumers.’

‘The integration of Rubean's SoftPOS technology is an important step towards offering our retail customers flexible, hardware-independent payment options,’ adds Nico Müller, CCO at shopreme. ‘This enables us to create a seamless shopping experience – from product scanning/recognition to payment – all on one device.’
