Caper boosts tech line up with Caper Cart launch
Caper, the New York-based company behind the Caper Cart, an AI-powered shopping cart for grocery stores, has expanded its product line of autonomous checkout technology.
It is rolling out the Caper Counter, a plug and play countertop pitched at mini markets and retail stores with under ten thousand feet.
The venture says that this has been deployed in several stores with a national convenience retailer, with additional locations coming soon.
"When we heard from retailers they wanted a cashierless checkout solution to fit their smaller footprint stores, we developed the Caper Counter with powerful computer vision technology in a plug and play format that is quick to deploy without having to retrofit a store,” says Lindon Gao, CEO and Co-founder, Caper.
"Our first product - Caper Cart - was the first to define how technology can achieve a scalable cashierless solution for large format stores. With the new Caper Counter, we have again transformed the mundane - a countertop - into something seamless and magical for smaller footprint retailers.”
The solution detects and identify items placed on it and automatically adds the items to the total amount. Shoppers swipe their cards directly on the device or use Apple Pay or other NFC technology to checkout.
