Albert Heijn Tests ‘Grab And Go’ Digital Store
Dutch retailer Albert Heijn has announced that it is testing a mobile digital store designed to offer customers a ‘grab and go’ experience.
Customers can access the store by using their debit or credit cards and pay on their way out after shopping, without downloading the app or registering in advance.
The digital store bypasses cash registers or the need to scan products before making payments.
Once the payment is complete, the customer gets a notification and the door opens automatically allowing him/her to leave.
The store is fitted with cameras and sensors that detect whether a product is being taken or returned.
The trial will be carried out for two months with Albert Heijn employees before moving it to another location, the retailer said.
