Sainsbury’s: Mobile self-checkout drives higher shopper spending

Last summer, Sainsbury’s made headlines with the launch of its new mobile ‘scan-and-go’ technology. A trial in a South London store saw customers scanning products with their smartphone app and paying for goods without having to visit a fixed till or self-service machine. With the industry still looking at the checkout-less Amazon Go stores in awe, this development was a speedy move by Sainsbury’s to offer the customer a convenient solution to get in and out of a store quickly.
