Caper tech powers Kroger KroGO smart cart pilot
Kroger is testing out Caper's artificial intelligence powered shopping cart at a Cincinnati store in the US.
Shoppers can use a KroGO branded smart cart to scan items and pay for them, eliminating the need to stand in line and checkout.
Kroger is the third grocery retailer to adopt Caper’s technology, the other two being Sobeys and FoodCellar.
"In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for autonomous checkout technology is driving grocers and retailers to innovate and adopt new technologies that keep shoppers safe and streamline checkout," says Lindon Gao, CEO and Co-founder, Caper, which has raised more than $14 million in funding to date.
“We are excited to partner with Kroger on this pilot and look forward to gaining valuable feedback from its customers and associates."
