Smart stores
A shop that never closes
A full shop with no queue and no till. Tap to open the door, take what you want, walk out — the cabinet works out what you took and charges you for exactly that.
How it works
Three steps, no queue, no till
Authorise
Tap a card, phone or campus badge at the terminal. Your limit is checked, the lock releases.
Open up
Walk in and take what you want from open shelving and glass doors — no spirals, no buttons, no waiting.
Walk out
Close the door. Cameras and weighted shelves work out what you took and charge you for exactly that.
Why smart stores
Unattended retail that pays for itself
More choice than a machine, no staff on site, and a basket size people would never spend at a vending slot.
Shrink-aware technology
Weighted shelves and cameras track items removed with 99% accuracy.
Every way to pay
Credit and debit cards, campus cards, mobile wallets and account credit.
Remote management
Real-time inventory and reporting, with products and pricing sized to your site.
Ferrari's Coffee
Hand-roasted in Wales since 1927, served barista-style with fresh milk and syrups.
Our systems
Built on Cantaloupe and 365 Retail Markets
We build smart stores on the two platforms we trust — a tap-to-open cabinet system, and a secure detection cabinet that charges for exactly what is taken.
