Tiliter Introduces Contactless and Checkout-Free Shopping in the US with FutureProof Retail

Marcel Herz, CEO of Tiliter, remarked, "FPR's leading Scan and Go solution is the perfect fit to eliminate touchpoints and enable social distancing in stores. The integration with Tiliter's self-service scale provides the safest shopping experience available. "

FREMONT, CA: Tiliter, the world's most accurate and flexible product recognition technology, and FutureProof Retail (FPR), the leading provider of line-free mobile checkout solutions, have joined hands to deploy the first self-service scale with product recognition integrated with Scan and Go in the US.

FPR's solution allows customers to utilize their smartphones for scanning and bagging items while they are shopping. They can then pay using their phone and bunk the lines at checkout. FPR's mobile platform smoothly integrates with the Tiliter Scan&Go Scale that helps shoppers add weight items such as produce and bulk foods to their shopping basket. Rather than entering a PLU number, Tiliter's software automatically recognizes the item and shows a barcode on the screen that the customer can simply scan with FPR's Scan and Go app. The first integration has been installed in New York City's Westside Market, and a range of supermarkets across the US would follow this year, overtaking competitor checkout-free solutions.

The technology is empowered by Tiliter Vision Software that utilizes leading-edge artificial intelligence and computer vision to identify any product without a barcode, including fresh produce, candy, dried fruit, mixed nuts, bulk, and bakery items. Shoppers do not need to manually search for the desired items or enter a PLU, which assures a contactless and hygienic checkout experience.

"Tiliter's Scan&Go Scale with its powerful AI makes FPR's already easy and frictionless solution even easier by enabling automatic recognition of products, dramatically reducing time spent in-store for shoppers," stated Di Di Chan, President of FutureProof Retail.
