Trigo Vision Sets Up Cutting-Edge, Grab-and-go Tech At Israel’s Largest Supermarket Chain
Summary
The Israeli startup’s cutting-edge, computer vision platform would allow grocery retailers to compete in a space currently occupied solely by Amazon Go, the world’s first automated supermarket where shoppers pick up their needed items and walk out of the store without going through a cashier, paying automatically via an app. “We are very excited to begin the process of development and embedding of Trigo Vision’s retail automation platform in order to offer our customers a completely seamless checkout experience,” Itzik Abercohen, CEO of Shufersal, said at the time. Its scalability and flexibility also means that we can roll out this technology across all of our stores, whether small express shops or larger hypermarkets.” “Shufersal is a clear market leader in adopting innovation and bringing new retail experiences to its customers. Though Trigo Vision’s tech was developed by members of a team of AI and algorithm experts who once worked at companies like Google, Amazon, and Apple, Gabay has said it is still simple enough to use by both customers and retailers. We’re not forcing the retailers to change their layout.” Technology plays “a big role” in customer satisfaction, Shufersal Chief Executive Officer Itzik Abercohen said when the company first announced the partnership.
