In any implementation of new store technology, program expense, serviceability, and impact to store operations all must be considered if they are to be successful and scaled.
The promise of smart-carts is significant... The personalization of the customer experience will drive loyalty and conversion to a higher lifetime value omni-channel shopper. Billions in new retail media dollars and in connected stores are up for grabs. The opportunities are endless and retailers have taken notice. Now what...?
Step One: Choosing the right smart-cart technology for your stores. If the user experience of your smart-cart program is superior, then every customer walking into your store will want to use a smart-cart device. This means that stores will need a smart-cart device available for every shopper wanting that immersive personalized in-store experience that only a smart-cart can provide.
Step Two: If it's too expensive to implement, service, and ultimately replace in three to five years, then it's not scalable. Beyond's Smart-Cart Program is not only easy to execute but will save tens of thousands of dollars per store location at every stage: implementation, service and customer-facing hardware updates, compared to other smart-cart programs. Screen, battery and computer technology will be very different in three to five years, so when it's time to update your customer facing hardware, only the Beyond devices themselves need to be changed, not the entire cart nor the device charging kiosk.
Beyond's patented Smart-Cart Program utilizes and adapts to a retailers existing fleet of shopping carts... and is the ONLY smart-cart platform that can be added to and removed by the shopper before exiting the store. Shoppers enter the store and select the cart they want; large, small or electric, as before, then check-in at the kiosk to select a device to begin their personalized shopping experience.
Our shopping cart handles replace traditional handles and adapt to all shopping carts; large, small, and electric carts. Our smart-cart devices slide onto new handles and can be removed as customers exit the store. Devices have an integrated locking mechanism that can be enabled allowing devices to be locked onto carts when store environments require additional security.
Beyond’s Smart-Cart Platform is a purpose-built device. Its large dedicated screen delivers more immersive in-store and e-commerce digital experiences than any smart-phone screen can.
New handles secure smart-cart devices and provide a location for customers to place their smart-phones as they shop, encouraging them to engage digitally as they choose.
Our shopping cart handles replace traditional handles and adapt to all shopping carts; large, small, and electric carts. Carts are collected from parking lot as before, no special handling needed to collect specialized carts.
