Is an automated checkout system right for my store?

With all the advancements in automated checkout technology, grocers are faced with the  choices of traditional self-checkout, Scan & Pay technology, pure walkout technology and now smart carts. Automated self-checkout can help your store operations in many ways, including:

• Reducing queues at associate-based checkout stations
• Creating an automated audit process to monitor shrink
• Allowing store employees to be repositioned at other store areas needing attention

‍

What automated checkout system is right for you? Most grocery retailers already employ unmanned self-checkout stations for self-scanning by customers to ring up and bag their items. But this single-use avenue has its limits. By implementing AI-powered smart carts, such as Caper Carts, retailers can enjoy benefits from this multi-use channel such as:

• Providing an engaging shopping experience for in-store customers via the Caper Cart screen
• Reducing all queues through the onboard payment terminal
• Helping monitor shrink through Caper Cart’s audit features

Anti-theft capabilities to help reduce stock loss

The Caper Cart not only provides customers with a delightful in-store experience, but it also provides retailers with anti-theft tools through the following features:

• Weight sensors: In the Caper Cart Model 3, weight sensors are built into the bottom of the basket, detecting the weight of items placed in or removed from the cart, matching them against scanned items.
• Barcode scanners: Integrated scanners and computer-vision cameras ensure each item put into the cart is scanned and accounted for as a customer does their shopping.
• Real-time monitoring via Cart Manager: A retailer can live monitor their deployed Caper Carts via remote management to keep track of unusual movements or attempts to leave without payment.
• Exit Gate coordination: Caper Carts can work in tandem with electronic gates at store exits, only allowing them to pass after successful payment is confirmed.
