Newland AIDC Embedded Solutions: Enhancing ezyCart for a Superior Retail Experience

In today’s rapidly evolving landscape of retail technology, the Smart Shopping Cart (SmartCart) emerges as a new solution designed to address common frustrations faced by both retailers and shoppers. As traditional checkout methods struggle with issues like long queues, high shrinkage, and significant operational costs, SmartCarts offer a superior, seamless and efficient alternative.

ezyCart is the first AI-infused SmartCart (developed in Malaysia) that is designed to cater to the Southeast Asian retail market. It provides shoppers one-touch access to product data, promotions, recipes and assistance via it’s touchscreen, and completely skip cashier lines and security checks by paying on the cart using local QR pay services or by tapping their credit card, debit card or mobile-payment on the screen. At the same time, SmartCarts are not only a head-turner in stores, but also enable retailers to proactively sell more products to shoppers while they are shopping.

ezyCart offers a ‘POS-on-Wheels’ equipped with a built-in Newland AIDC scan engine, supported by Vision-AI and sensors that triple-validates every product added into the cart, as well as cashless payment and e-receipts. It also provides real-time dashboards and customer support apps for monitoring sales data and consumer preferences. Supporting data-driven promotions, in-cart assistance, and contextual advertisements, ezyCart delivers a seamless and interactive shopping experience.

With a zero CAPEX, zero TCO subscription model, retailers can adopt ezyCart without hidden costs, transforming checkout from a cumbersome end-of-journey process into an engaging and interactive part of the shopping experience. Additionally, its environmentally friendly design uses sustainably-sourced plant waste materials in its build, and features SmartWheels™ to prevent cart loss, as well as magnetic and wireless charging capabilities. This combination of features not only improves operational efficiency but also enhances customer satisfaction, driving higher sales and better in-store engagement.

“We tried a few other barcode scanners and didn’t find any of them suitable or satisfactory until we come across Newland AIDC. Performance-wise, it’s super-fast, really easy to install into our SmartCart and offers us significant flexibility, and has so far not given us any problems at all. And the team at Newland AIDC was super kind to us, a small startup. They guided us through our first few installations and testing, and stayed with us until we were fully satisfied and could manage it ourselves. So, thank you, Newland AIDC.” says Retailetics's COO & Co-founder, Shaji Rajappan.
