AUSTRALIA | The weekly grocery shop will soon be even easier for families in Western Australia, with Woolworths rolling out new trolleys that let shoppers scan and bag their shopping as they browse the aisles.
Woolworths has wheeled out the new Scan&Go trolleys at the first stores across Perth. The smart trolleys help shoppers track their spending in real-time, and can even surface specials to help them stick to their budget.
Using their Everyday Rewards card, customers can unlock a tablet from the charging wall at the front of the store and attach it to their trolley to start shopping. The tablet has a built-in scanner and lets customers scan and bag their shopping.
Woolworths Director of Smart Enablement, Matthew Baveas, said the smart trolleys deliver a more convenient shopping experience.
"We're focused on giving time back to our customers, and these trolleys are designed to make the grocery shop faster from start to finish," said Baveas.
"By scanning and packing groceries as they shop, customers can enjoy a much more seamless checkout experience."
One of the great things about these smart trolleys, Baveas said, is that they let customers track their spending as they browse the aisles, helping them save on the weekly grocery shop.
The Scan&Go trolleys are now available at Woolworths Harrisdale and Woolworths Secret Harbour, and will be rolled out to more stores across Western Australia over the coming months. This followed a successful pilot of the trolleys in NSW, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.
