Ubamarket tests out AI powered shopping app
Mobile tech startup Ubamarket has overhauled its scan, pay and go app.
The previous iteration of its offering is currently in use in several SPAR, Londis and Warner's Budgens stores across the UK and Ireland. The next generation app is also set to be adopted by a number of Co-Op stores.
It features a range of AI-backed features and a demo version is now available to experience on the AppStore and Google PlayStore. Customers can register to test it out here. Features include facial recognition, automatic loyalty points and aisle sat-nav.
“Not only does our technology revitalise and revolutionise the process of shopping in-store for customers, but it also provides retailers with a much-needed method to get back on track and ensure they can thrive in the midst of a tough climate for the industry,” says Ubamarket CEO Will Broome.
“What's more, our research clearly shows that a huge portion of consumers are receptive to mobile technology already, and these numbers are only set to grow as technology permeates our society further. Technology gives shoppers a reason to get up off the couch and feel excited to shop in-person again, and we are committed to providing this technology to help traditional retailers not only survive, but thrive.”
