Data and Analytics

Cashier free checkout adopted by 70% of customers, voluntarily

Customers pick AI checkout over traditional lanes more than 70% of the time, across 500+ locations that handle nearly a billion transactions a year, built on vision based checkout and real time cloud processing.

The Opportunity

A high volume convenience technology operator runs 500+ locations and roughly a billion transactions a year. Shoppers expect an Amazon like, queue free experience as standard, something traditional checkout couldn't deliver without piling on labor cost.

It needed a cashier free model that could scale across 500+ global locations, and a checkout customers would choose on their own.

The Transformation

A vision based, autonomous checkout system recognizes what a shopper takes and bills them automatically, no scanning, no line. Customer interactions are captured through the mobile app, with video data uploaded to the cloud. A Google Cloud Function assigns the transaction, Pub/Sub triggers the ML model, and the result returns to the shopper’s device instantly.

Customers prefer it by a wide margin, checkout moves faster, and it has become the capability the operator’s own sales team leads with.

  3. A Model That Sharpens With Use

    The model gets sharper with every transaction, and close to a billion transactions a year feed that improvement, accuracy compounds instead of staying fixed at launch.
