Autonomous shopping
Sensor technology as an enabler for an automated shopping experience
With over five years of experience in consulting and implementing IoT projects, it-novum offers innovative self-service shopping solutions. Our platform analyzes video and sensor data in real time and in compliance with data protection regulations.
Real-time basket: In-store customers can see in real time(!) which goods are in their (app) shopping basket – regardless of whether goods are taken or put back. Retailers can use the app to send promotional offers directly to customers based on the contents of their shopping basket.
Shopping without tills
Automated shopping experiences, including self-checkout. The system enables customers to shop completely autonomously – from entering the store to the shopping process and payment – without a cashier or scanner, with 95% of items being correctly allocated.
Intelligent sensors provide real-time data for
- Tracking people in the store without collecting personal data
- High accuracy thanks to fast and AI/ML-controlled product detection
- Flexible integration into existing environments and backend systems
Fast ROI through
- Moderate entry costs (e.g. nocameras required!)
- Low operating costs
- Low infrastructure requirements (computing power, network, etc.)
