RetailAI® Fresh





RetailAI® Fresh 

RetailAI® Fresh solves for the time-consuming and error-prone experience that grocery store customers today struggle with when weighing fresh products on a self-serve scale. This solution retrofits traditional scales, enabling recognition of fresh products automatically – even while bagged – significantly reducing mis-click shrink, staff assists, and long queues. RetailAI® Fresh learns and remembers SKUs for self-serve products, enabling large-scale deployment. 

Problems with Today's 
Self-service Scales

Operational Inefficiency

Although the scales and self-checkout system are supposed to be easy to use, customers often turn to store staff for assistance, resulting in high operational costs and long lines. 

Poor User Experience

Paying for fresh produce by weight takes a toll in time and frustration. Finding the correct item on the self-checkout screen takes - on average - more than 3 clicks and more than 15 seconds per item. 

Shrinkage

Mis-clicking is common, leading directly to operating losses. Many customers aren't necessarily aiming to shoplift, but the effort to sift through a complex UI may cause them to mis-click out of frustration.

RetailAI® Fresh


RetailAl® Fresh helps retailers increase revenues by reducing mis-clicks and cutting usage time down signficantly, allowing for more usage during peak hours.

How It Works

Step 1

Shoppers place their items
on the scale. It can be within or without a plastic bag.

Step 2

RetailAl® Fresh identifies the items and offers matching thumbnails for easy 1-click selection.

Step 3

Shoppers follow the on-screen prompts to complete their purchase with just one click. 

Step 4

The system prints a receipt automatically. Likely mis-clicks will optionally print a star on the ticket.
