In short: Smart carts reduce theft and shrinkage through AI-powered camera vision, software-based loss prevention, or weight sensors. Gentle on-screen reminders can correct scanning mistakes, while smart interventions reduce shrinkage, disrupting customer journeys only when needed.

Smart carts can prevent theft and reduce shrinkage in retail in several ways, including AI-powered camera vision, software-based loss prevention, or weight sensors.

How smart carts reduce shrinkage

• AI-powered camera vision: Detects unscanned or unknown items placed in the cart.

• Weight sensors & basket analytics: Flag inconsistencies between items and scans.

• UX design with reminders: On-screen prompts guide shoppers to correct scanning errors.

• Intelligent interventions: Trigger only when anomalies persist, minimizing friction for honest customers.

shopreme’s three-pillar approach to loss prevention

• Psychological: Clear customer journey, intuitive UX, and communication that discourages errors or fraud.

• Technological: Strategic combination of hard- and software

• Human: Well-trained staff who understand fraud and Self-Checkout technology.

shopreme’s smart cart solution prevents losses with precision. Behind the scenes, algorithms analyze shopping behavior, ensuring spot checks are only performed when truly necessary. AI-powered camera vision adds another security layer. The result is ahigher spot check accuracy, less shrinkage, and a frictionless shopping experience.

Thanks to pin-on-glass payment technology (PoG), customers can pay directly on the smart shopping cart tablet. Unlike traditional payments on a physical keypad, PoG technology allows customers to pay directly on a touchscreen device, such as a smart cart tablet, by tapping their mobile phone or credit card directly on the screen.

Just like traditional payments, payment information is securely transmitted to the payment processor and card issuer for verification. Enabling payment directly on the smart cart improves the checkout process, shortens lines, and enhances customer experience.

Depending on the desired customer journey, you can integrate payment at the SCO, traditional cash desk, or a combination of all methods.

In short: Modular smart carts upgrade existing shopping carts with detachable tablets, avoiding the need for costly cart replacements. They facilitate charging infrastructure, minimize hardware costs, and enable fast in-store installation, making rollout and scaling efficient and flexible for retailers.

shopreme snap cart software can be integrated with multiple smart cart hardware vendors, such as Hanshow, Geck, and Wanzl.

1. The typical step-by-step procedure for integrating a modular smart cart solution with an existing shopping cart is as follows:

2. Attach the smart cart mount directly to existing shopping carts with just a few screws.

3. As desired, install the charging stations at the beginning of the customer journey in the store. Depending on the journey, you can install a return station in the checkout area.

4. Integrate the smart cart tablets, position them in the charging stations, and you're done.

5. With shopreme snap cart, employees can easily install new tablets directly in-store by scanning a single QR code.

Advantages of modular smart cart solutions:

• Minimized hardware costs: No cart replacement necessary

• Efficient charging infrastructure without major store modifications

• Tablets remain in the store, so there is no need to modify the parking lot and less risk of hardware damage from weather conditions.

• Easier smart cart replacement and scaling
