Revolutionizing the retail experience with intelligent inventory tracking and seamless digital checkout.
SmartCart is an end-to-end shopping ecosystem that bridges the gap between physical retail and digital precision. It features a smart hardware interface coupled with a high-performance web dashboard for real-time inventory management.
Traditional retail environments suffer from persistent stock inaccuracies, slow checkout processes, and a lack of real-time data for floor managers. Customers often face long queues, while store owners struggle with shrinkage and inefficient inventory auditing.
Utilizing Weight sensors and RFID tags to track every item added or removed from the cart instantly.
Low-latency MQTT protocols to ensure the hardware and cloud remain perfectly synchronized.
Direct integration with payment gateways for a frictionless "Grab and Go" retail experience.
Dynamic updates to store-wide inventory as items are placed in carts.
