With margins in grocery are already slim, and since efficiency and accuracy aren’t guaranteed, is the cost to install this tech and the need for human review worth it? In this episode Peter V.S. Bond explores:
• Why Amazon is moving away from Just Walk Out technology in favor of Dash Carts and what this change means for the future of shopping.
• The reasons Amazon opted for Dash Carts over scan-and-go technology, which Walmart and Sam’s Club have implemented.
• How Dash Carts simplify the scanning process, provide real-time product recommendations, and help shoppers track their spending with features like weighing produce.
• The current limitations regarding digital ads in Dash Carts and how they might evolve to include personalized offers and discounts.
• How the media element of Dash Cart screens might eventually showcase “online-only” items or offer lower pricing than what's available in-store.
