Caper
PaidInstacart's AI smart shopping carts that scan items as shoppers shop
What is Caper?
Caper builds AI-powered smart carts for grocery stores that recognize and scan items as they go into the basket, so shoppers can skip the checkout line. The carts belong to Instacart and run in stores of more than ten retailers, from large chains to independents.
An onboard screen shows a running total, digital coupons and location-based offers, which also gives retailers a new advertising channel. The carts connect to existing point-of-sale systems and loyalty programs.
Store staff get cart monitoring tools to help reduce shrink. Retailers named in coverage include Coles in Australia, ALDI South, Schnucks and Wakefern. Pricing is arranged directly with retailers.
