Checkers Launches South Africa’s Pioneering Smart Shopping Trolley
South African retail giant Checkers has unveiled the nation’s first smart shopping trolley, the Xpress Trolley, revolutionizing the in-store shopping experience. This innovation marks a significant stride toward a more streamlined, tech-integrated approach to grocery shopping, promising customers unparalleled convenience and control.
Exploring the Xpress Trolley’s Features
The Xpress Trolley, created by the ShopriteX innovation team, empowers shoppers by allowing them to scan and bag items as they move through the store. A built-in screen provides real-time updates on the shopping basket’s total cost, displaying product information and personalized offers. This advanced technology also enhances in-store navigation, guiding customers to product locations, and effectively reducing the time spent searching for items. After internal testing, the pilot phase is being launched at two Checkers stores in the Western Cape: Checkers Hyper Brackenfell and Checkers Constantia, each offering ten smart trolleys for customer use. The trolley also includes the ability to pay directly, removing the need for traditional checkout lines.
The introduction of the Xpress Trolley reflects Checkers’ commitment to embracing technology to enhance customer experience and modernize retail operations.
