A shopping experience like no other
No checkout counters. No long lines nor waiting times. That’s what customers won’t find in DAO’s new store. What will they find then? Well, exactly what they would in a traditional supermarket: a varied assortment with everything they may need, from fresh greens and bakery to frozen food, beverages and even personal care items.
The difference lies in the magic of Sensei’s AI-powered technology, that combines sensors and computer vision. Imagine this: a store so smart that it can identify all products taken from or returned to the shelves, generating a virtual shopping cart and eliminating the need for scanning at the end. You can even shop in a group, and the system will automatically combine your items into a shared basket. Imagine walking in, grabbing what you want, and leaving without the burden of queueing by simply tapping your bank card or showing the QR code in your mobile app. Guess what, you don’t have to imagine it anymore!
The wonders of customisation
DAO’s store goes even further to meet its customers’ preferences. Offering the chance of portion customisation, bulk buying has become a thing all over the world. So, with the help of Sensei’s technology, DAO’s customers can now buy their fruits, vegetables and bread per weight — rather than per unit. The same way they can choose exactly how they want their coffee, in the autonomous coffee machine. Will it be an Espresso or a Cappuccino, signore?
Real-time basket, the real deal
The TuDay Conad store also introduces one of Sensei’s biggest innovations so far: real-time basket and real-time receipt. This means customers can review their virtual shopping cart, updated in real time, before even leaving the store. In other words, they know how much they’re paying before actually paying. No unpleasant surprises. No fuss. No Shakespearian drama. Just a shopping experience as silky-smooth as it gets.
