The start of a new era for smart shopping cart project

If you’ve been in the retail industry as long as 10 years , you may know one thing is imminent ,that is digital transformation .Just about 5 years or so ,there’s a fundamental shift in smart shopping cart project . But 5 years ago , many people didn’t know what was a smart shopping cart .

Actually , the smart shopping cart has opened a new era for retail industry .

(1) A new era of saving shopping time .

With an ordinary shopping cart ,at the cashiers’ desk , customers need to take away all items and ask the cashier to scan items one by one .

After cashiers have checked all items then , customers can leave the supermarket . Waiting for checking out is a very time-consuming process for customers , which is a big waste of time .

Using a smart shopping cart for shopping , customers could totally skip the cash counter and check out directly on the smart cart  . This saves much time  and improves customers' satisfaction .

(2) A new era of self-service shopping .

The  smart shopping cart can accompany customers all in the shopping process ,they can provide shopping guidelines step by step ,this means the smart shopping cart itself can tell you how to shop step by step .

A smart shopping cart has a touch-able screen , which displays all necessary information , including coupons , promotional informations , related items' information ,could help customers make purchase decisions .

When customers grab items and scan , the touch-able screen will display items' name , price , original place and other detailed informtion on the screen one by one , customers view their shopping bill clearly  .

For fruits and vegetables , smart shopping cart can also be used to weigh fruits and vegetables . Customers only need to entry into furits and vegetables' shrot code , and put furits and vegetables into the smart shopping cart basket .  Notice that fruits and vegetables shall be weighed one by one , different fruits and vegetables can't be

mixed together .

(3) A new era of self-checkout

The most significant advantage of smart shopping carts are self-checking out functions . How can this work in a supermarket ? When customers scan items’ bar codes , items’ price will be displayed on the smart shopping cart screen automatically , when customers add another items , accordingly , items which have been scanned will be displayed on the screen immediately .So customers could easily get their shopping bills and check whether it has exceeded their shopping budget . In the final step , customers finish their payment through various mobile payment methods .

After shopping ,customers can receive their shopping receipt on their mobile phones ,which is very convenient .
