Manila, Philippines – Local supermarket chain AllDay Supermarket has announced the launch of its first-ever smart carts, a first in the Philippines’ supermarket scene. The new innovation adds up to other AllDay’s recently launched innovations such as its personal shopper service, and AllDay’s self-checkout counters.
Customers need to simply place their desired items in the smart cart, which automatically scans the selected items information, immediately reflecting prices and other important information on the cart’s user interface. As a customer continues his or her shopping trip, a running total is generated in real-time, allowing for them to monitor and compare against their budget, or their shopping list for that particular trip.
Finally, when a customer is ready to check out, the smart cart will automatically generate a QR code for their total purchase, which can be scanned at either AllDay’s self-checkout counters or simply handed over to AllDay’s trained cashiers for payment and check out.
Camille Villar, vice chairman at AllDay Supermarket, said, “We’re excited to bring to our customers yet another innovation to make in-person grocery shopping even more intuitive and enjoyable. Our smart carts are a novel experience, and we are sure it will be an exciting experience for first-time users. This puts even more convenience and information about what they are buying in real time, right at their fingertips.”
She added, “More importantly, introducing these smart carts helps raise the bar for the local supermarket landscape, driving home our point that Filipino consumers now prefer experiential shopping, and we are of course happy to deliver.”
The supermarket chain also continues to maintain and operate its e-commerce platform www.allday.com.ph, which also aims to introduce new customer-facing improvements in 2022.
Villar added, “Our focus continues to be directed towards bringing transformation to the local supermarket landscape. The importance of continuous improvement of our services and experiences remains a top business priority for us, right alongside expanding our store network and bringing our established elevated in-store customer experience to even more communities all over the country.”
