The Go store has more than 160,000 employees and offers various snacking and convenience shopping options, including meat, fruits and vegetables.
It is equipped with Trigo’s artificial intelligence (AI)-powered checkout and retail analytics solution ‘EasyOut’.
This technology offers ‘tap-and-go’ ease to the customers. They can enter the store by tapping their debit or credit card at the entrance gate.
As the customers start shopping, Trigo’s proprietary 3D engine uses its computer vision cameras and shelf sensors to automatically detect and tally the products that the shoppers take.
