Amazon had launched its “Just Walk Out” technology. The company is currently offering this technology to other retailers, aiming at boosting the use of the cashier-less store system. Recently, Amazon launched its first full-size grocery store in Seattle using the same cashier-less model.

According to a report, the US technology giant launched a new website to promote this offering, claiming that the installation can be done in “as little as a few weeks”. Amazon informed that they would work with existing retailers or new stores as part of a construction or remodeling plan for the company.

‘Grab stuff and Go’

“Just Walk Out technology enables shoppers to simply enter a store, grab what they want, and just go,” the website said. “Born from years of experience at Amazon Go, Just Walk Out uses a combination of technologies to eliminate checkout lines. We now offer retailers the ability to leverage this technology in their stores to help bring fast and convenient checkout experiences to more shoppers”, the company informs.

Recently, the company had opened more than 20 smaller Amazon Go stores using the same system in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The company has informed that stores will allow pre-registered customers to skip the cashier and allow their credit cards to be billed for their purchases, with the technology detecting what they take and return to the shelves.
