Since the global COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, “non-contact” has become a buzzword. There is no doubt that the pandemic is a challenge to retailers. Luckily, the development of AI checkout brings more opportunities.
AI Checkout is elevating retail at a time when online shopping is popular.
Online shopping wins more favor of customers nowadays. It is widely believed that online shopping improves consumption experience, for people can choose goods without limits and pay without waiting in queues. Consumers are able to complete purchases only through a mobile phone or a laptop everywhere. However, online shopping is not perfect. It takes a long time from placing an order to receiving the goods. For this reason, entity business is still indispensable. According to research from Forrester, 72% of U.S. retail sales will still occur in bricks-and-mortar stores. The advent of AI self-checkout improves consumers’ experience and transforms retail.
AI self-checkout ensures touchless consumption.
As technology develops, some people may suffer from social phobia. They like to deal with machines rather than real people. It’s noted in a Retail Customer Experience report 2021 that 60% of consumers would choose self-checkout over interaction with a cashier. AI checkout machine has developed to a high level, and touchless shopping is achieved. In Amazon, Tesco, and even Walmart, products can be checked during the shopping, and consumers can be charged when they walk out. During the whole shopping process, consumers don’t need to contact any person ,and even they don’t even need to take out their phones or wallets.
AI checkout leads to efficient consumption.
For most people nowadays, time is life. Who would like to spend time in lining up and waiting in the queues if unnecessary? AI checkout machines greatly help solve this problem.
Consumers can finish their purchases through only 4 steps, maybe it needs less than 4 in some places.
First, consumers choose the products they want to buy and interacts with the screen of the checkout machines to start checkout.
Second, they put the products on the tray and wait for the AI machines to scan.
Third, they select payment options freely to pay for their orders.
Lastly, they get a receipt and leave.
Through some advanced autonomous checkout systems, consumers don’t even need to wait to scan and check out. Thanks to AI checkout, consumers save time and conduct more efficient consumption.
AI checkout improves the shopping experience.
Autonomous checkout is also called“grab-and-go”, “checkout-free”, etc. These names can intuitively reflect what autonomous checkout want to bring for customers. People grab the products they want and directly leave the shops. Don’t mistake them for thieves for they have paid as soon as they leave.
