What is smart cart shopping ?

Smart cart shopping has become a major grocery shopping method in the physical retail industry. More and more customers choose to experience smart cart shopping rather than ordinary cart shopping when they have these two options, as smart cart shopping has some distinct advantages.

In this article, I will list 2 important smart cart shopping advantages from the customer's side.

(1) Smart cart shopping brings an immersive shopping experience.

When you go into a physical store, as usual, you select items you want by yourself, and it seems that you need to ask the supermarket staff for help if you want to know promotional items. Sometimes the sales staff will disturb you if they want to recommend some coupons and promotional items to you. When you go to the cashier counter, you need to take all items out of the shopping cart basket and wait for check out.

Smart cart shopping is a shopping journey that brings an immersive shopping experience. You select items by yourself and scan items’ bar codes, the smart cart recognizes items based on artificial intelligence, deep learning, and other multiple algorithms and displays items’ price and total real-time cost of the shopping automatically. The smart cart also sends you ready-to-use coupons, then you can use them immediately.

The smart cart also has the function of indoor navigation, if you don’t know where to buy some specific items, you just search item’s name via the smart cart screen, and the smart cart sends you routes to get it. Checking out also becomes very easy, when you’ve done shopping, you will get your shopping bill automatically and then you can just check out by yourself. In the shopping journey using the smart cart, you finish the shopping process by yourself and enjoy the immersive shopping experience.

(2) Smart cart shopping is a shopping journey that is fast and convenient.

Checking out usually costs much time when you check out either through a manual cash counter or a self-checkout kiosk. This is a time waste for every customer.

The smart cart allows you to purchase items by yourself and check out by yourself, you’ll skip the cash counter and long queues forever. There’s no waste of time anymore.

The smart cart also has some convenient features, the smart cart has a charging port for smart mobile phones, and customers can easily get their mobile phones charged while they are shopping. The newest version of the smart cart has another flexible onboard bar code scanner which is convenient for customers to scan large items’ bar codes.
