Caper's AI-powered shopping cart is a plug-and-play solution - no installation is required and no operational restructuring is needed. Store owners can put Caper carts in their stores and enable an automated checkout experience that complements their existing business. The Caper carts are live in 2 grocery chains, and have plans to roll out to 150 more in 2019. Caper is not a technology that only exists within a concept store.
The current launched version of Caper's cart requires barcode scanning of each item on the cart - and it has already become the go-to technology for shoppers. Caper is leveraging the captured item image and the scanned item barcode to help train its deep learning algorithm and enable the scan-less drop-and-go experience. Caper not only streamlines checkout, but it also provides an interface to interact with shoppers and provide revenue driving opportunities for grocers with tailored recommendations designed to increase basket size. In its launched stores, Caper has been able to increase average basket size by 18% by giving customers exposure to products they may overlook or unable to find.
Caper has raised about $3.5M to date from First Round Capital, Y Combinator, and a number of notable angels in the grocery industry such as Nick Taranto (Cofounder of Plated) and Max Mullen (Cofounder of Instacart).
