Overview
Caper makes self-scanning smart shopping carts for grocery stores, using sensor fusion, camera recognition and weights to record items as shoppers add them. The carts connect to a retailer's existing POS and loyalty programme, and an onboard screen shows synced shopping lists, digital coupons and ads. Caper Tooling is a cloud application for cart tracking, verification and store alerts.
