South African retail giant, Shoprite, is planning to bring a major change to the retail industry. According to media reports, the grocery store announced they are testing an automated Checkers concept with the aim of not using cashiers or till points. The groundbreaking concept is similar to the one employed by Amazon in many countries overseas. Business Insider reports that the Shoprite Group is planning to use advanced camera technology to ensure the shopping process is smooth.
The publication has it that the retail brand will use AI and machine vision to monitor what the shoppers take from the shelves to bill your card as the clients are done with their shopping. Despite coming with a great idea to ensure the shoppers will have convenience, it remains to be seen if Shoprite will extend this kind of shop to other parts of the country.
