Will Glaser, Founder and CEO of Grabango, talks with Junko Yoshida, Editor-in-Chief of the Ojo-Yoshida Report, for the “Why Amazon Failed and the Future of Computer Vision in Retail” interview at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
Grabango’s checkout-free shopping system allows you to shop in grocery and convenience stores without having to scan your items or wait in lines. Grabango uses pure computer vision to identify every product in the store, understand what they are and know where they are at all times. The Grabango system works seamlessly in ordinary stores without requiring retailers to make any changes to the store’s planogram or merchandising strategies. Grabango’s clients include ALDI, Chevron, Circle K, Copec and 7-Eleven.
While Grabango is seeing strong growth, Amazon is pulling back on its Just Walk Out (JWO) technology. In this interview, Yoshida catches up with Glaser to get an update on Grabango’s trajectory. They discuss why Amazon’s JWO failed, the adoption of Grabango’s solution and the factors fueling the company’s growth. They also delve into Grabango’s insights about consumer preferences.
