Evolution Robotics Retail


Product Description:

In retail outlets where customers rely on shopping carts, cashiers can miss items in the bottom of the cart during the checkout process, either accidentally or intentionally. The result can be a substantial revenue loss for retailers. Missing only $10 per lane each day of unpaid bottom-of-the-basket (BOB) items represents a $30,000 to $50,000 annual loss for a typical store. With LaneHawk from Evolution Robotics Retail, retailers can recover that revenue.

LaneHawk is a loss prevention solution that helps retailers turn BOB losses into profits. LaneHawk identifies items, sends their UPC codes to the POS, and includes those items as part of the transaction. It's that simple to make sure that revenue is captured for the items that pass through the checkout lane under the cart.

LaneHawk is based on patented vision technology used in some of today's most sophisticated robotics applications. This technology enables LaneHawk to virtually eliminate false positives — LaneHawk only identifies and sends BOB items to the POS that the retailer specifically chooses. Implementing LaneHawk is easy. It can integrate with any POS system, requires little time to install, and is unobtrusive to customers. And, because LaneHawk is integrated with the POS, it can ring up BOB items automatically. The result? Improved cashier accountability, increased checkout lane productivity, and reduced inventory shrink. Best of all, LaneHawk provides a great ROI for your business with a payback period of less than a year.

LaneHawk — prevent loss and increase profits by automatically ringing up under-the-cart items.
