Finally! There is a new technology update made by Amazon. It is called the Amazon Go app and it gives shopping a whole new meaning by lessening the hassle of falling in line at the cashier.
Amazon Go is the grocery store of the future. Why is it so? It does not have any checkout counters. Unlike regular stores that let the shoppers fall in line at the cash register to check out their items, the customers just get what they want and walk out. It gives the shopping a process a whole new meaning. Its application is an advanced technology that helps the customers cash out without falling in line.
The payment transaction is done the moment you step out of the store. It reflects the things you buy in your Amazon account. This is an advantage for people who are on the go all the time. You don't need to fall in line, wait for your turn, and fumble around for change or your credit card which are some of the hassles when you go shopping. You only need to pick out what you want and then leave. Amazon Go has high potential to be the future of shopping.
Its advanced technology is routed with terra firma. This means that there are cameras, sensors, and microphones that help detect what you bought the moment you stepped out of the store. There are a lot of technical terms when it comes to the complexity of this technology but Amazon Go is very promising. It helps the customers avoid the long lines during peak seasons in shopping.
The company refuses to give much detail on the type of technology used but they did release a patent in 2014. This may help explain better for those who are curious about the entire process. Amazon Go is still in its early stages; having one store working in Seattle, the company's hometown. Now, it is only limited to the Amazon employees who get to test the store out. The company did say that the Amazon Go store is going to be open to the public early next year in 2017.
