Thanks to new technologies, retail shopping has become a convenient way to buy online. For
instance, since consumers do not like waiting in lines, companies are working
on checkout-free outlets.
An increasing number of retailers are partnering with
start-ups to streamline shopping, attract new customers and bring online buyers
back in stores. One firm offers cashierless checkout solutions which are based
on computer vision and artificial
intelligence. This allows clients to skip lines. Consumers can just walk
out. As they do so, the system will identify the items purchased and will
charge customers via a mobile payment app. However, checkout experience
in stores cannot be fully automated since there are millions of individuals who
do not have a bank account or a credit card. As such, there must be at least
one checkout line that allows clients to pay in cash.
Another trend that is becoming increasingly popular is BOPIS
(Buy Online, Pick Up In Store). This is quickly becoming part of the smart
shopping experience. It blurs the line between online and offline shopping and enables
customers to benefit from a convenient and time-saving system. If you wish to
