Smart Shopping Cart : Automatisering av handelsprocessen vid fysiska butiker, teknisk innovation

Aldebes, Mujtaba January 2018 (has links)
Stölder och snatteri är ett stort problem för fysiska butiker, dessutom marknadsutvecklingen för e-handel är avgörande för fysiska butikernas framgång och lönsamhet. Allt mer pengar investeras i säkerhetslösningar, väktare och personal Målet med den här kandidat-uppsatsen har varit att utveckla en produkt för ett modern och innovativt smart kundvagn. Den framtagna Smart kundvagnen är ett hjälpmedel som är bättre anpassad efter konsumenternas behov för att skapa trevligare upplevelse hos fysiska butiker och underlättar köpprocessen, vilket i längden kan leda till trygga och återkommande kunder. Genom att använda och utnyttja ny teknik tillsammans internetuppkoppling och nya funktioner till ett konkurrenskraftigt pris finns stora möjligheter att sälja denna produkt. Kundvagnen använder sig av bildanalys och lastcell som möjliggör att kunden inte längre behöver manuellt skanna en vara. istället identifieras varan och registreras när den placeras i kundvagnen. Prototypen har jämförts och slutsats har dragit att produkten är ett bättre alternativ än existerande produkter för ändamålet. / Thefts and shoplifting is a big problem for local stores, additionally the development of e-commerce is a deciding factor for the success of physical stores and their profitability. An increasing amount of money is being invested in security solutions, guards and other related personnel.  The goal of this Bachelors thesis has been to develop a product for a modern and innovative smart shopping cart. The resulting cart is a tool that is more suitable for the benefit of consumers and their need for a more comfortable shopping experience, it has the benefit of streamlining the shopping process which in turn could attract repeat customers.  Through the use of new technology as well as the Internet and new functions at a competitive price point there is a great opportunity to market this product. The shopping cart uses image analysis and a load cell which alleviates the need for customers to manually scan each article for purchase, instead it is identified and registered as it is placed in the shopping cart.  The prototype has been compared to other solutions and conclusions have been drawn as to the optimality of the product fulfill the purpose.

Smart Grocery Shopper Segments

Atkins, Kelly Green, Kumar, Archana, Kim, Youn Kyung 01 January 2016 (has links)
This study segments grocery shoppers seeking to maximize shopping value and minimize the investment of time, money, and effort. The literature lacks investigations of grocery shoppers based on shopping activities; therefore, this study aims to fill the gap. Data were obtained from 751 respondents who recently made a smart grocery shopping purchase. The cluster analysis to segment grocery shoppers yielded three types: spontaneous smart shoppers, apathetic smart shoppers, and involved smart shoppers. The segments differ across generational cohorts, consumer characteristics, postpurchase evaluations, and shopping values. Conclusions can assist marketers in tailoring their strategies for each segment.

Smart Shopping: Conceptualization and Measurement

Atkins, Kelly Green, Kim, Youn Kyung 01 April 2012 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain a better conceptualization and measurement of smart shopping. The specific objectives are to: investigate consumers' perceptions of the term smart shopping; develop a measure of smart shopping; and validate the measure of smart shopping. Design/methodology/approach: The research includes a comprehensive literature review, focus group interviews, and in-depth interviews for initial item generation and instrument development. Scale development consists of a pilot test (n=100), a pretest (n=237), and main study (n=1,474). Findings: The findings indicate that smart shopping includes consumers seeking to minimize the expenditure of time, money, or energy to gain hedonic or utilitarian value from the experience. Research limitations/implications: In-store shopping was examined based on shopping for clothing, grocery, or electronics; therefore caution must be used when applying the smart shopping scale to other shopping contexts or product categories. Practical implications: Gaining a better understanding of the smart shopper will enable retailers to more accurately target this consumer group. Focus could be placed on saving time or saving energy in addition to the traditional emphasis on saving money. Retailers could also provide a combination of utilitarian and hedonic experiences for consumers. Originality/value: This study conceptualizes and tests the term smart shopping from a broader perspective than previous studies that primarily focused on monetary savings in the grocery shopping context. Smart shopping includes the desire for efficient shopping but emphases on the components of an efficient trip may differ from traditional theories.

Design of a Smart Cart App for Automated Shopping in Supermarkets

Arvidsson, Aida, Hassani, Lina January 2020 (has links)
I dagens samhälle blir många saker smartare, främst med hjälp av Internet of Things.En överblick på smart shopping visar att flera alternativa sätt att shoppa på harintroducerats under de senaste åren för att förbättra och effektivisera shopping. Någraav dessa är online-shopping och självtjänster som inkluderar självutcheckningar ochhandhållna skannrar. Detta har varit ett framgångsrikt tillvägagångssätt, vilket kanses av det faktum att en av de största dagligvaruhandelskedjorna i Sverige, ICA, har1,5 miljoner kunder i sitt lojalitetsprogram där cirka 30% av dessa använderhandhållna skannrar. Dessa 30% ger cirka 60% av ICAs totala intäkter i några avderas största butiker. En av de stora utmaningarna med självbetjäning är dock att deär mycket dyrt, då ett system för en genomsnittlig butik i Sverige kan kosta cirka 1,5miljoner SEK. Detta gör det svårt för mindre butiker att erbjuda denna tjänst. Ett sättatt överkomma detta kan vara att skapa en applikation för smartphone-shopping(Smart Cart-app) med en användarcentrerad design, som med största sannolikhetsänker kostnader samt sparar tid. Tidigare forskning har visat försök på liknandeteknologies, men vissa av dessa hade begränsningar i presentationen av sin design ochanvändardata/användarforskning. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka möjlighetenatt utforma en Smart Cart-applikationsprototyp med en användarcentrerad designbaserad på Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) för att utvidga på tidigare förslag.Användardata, som har analyserats för att hitta viktiga punkter och önskemål idesign, har samlats in genom ett frågeformulär med 275 deltagare och intervjuer med3 personer. Denna data har använts tillsammans med information från enlitteraturöversikt för att utforma prototypen för Smart Cart-appen, som är envisualisering av studieresultaten. Prototypen stöds av en analys som visar varför det ärviktigt att involvera användare i designprocessen och vad som bör beaktas när mangör detta. Studien fann också en begäran efter en sådan app, då exempelvis 51,7% avsjälvscannande kunder skulle överväga att använda den. Dessutom stöder resultatenockså det faktum att om användaren accepterar och har en bekantskap med vissafunktioner i applikationen, är de mer benägna till att ta an applikationen. Majoritetenav deltagarna har en positiv inställning till applikationer inom smart shopping och harliknande önskemål om funktioner och utseende.Slutligen behövs framtida forskning om olika aspekter och synpunkter förvidareutveckling av Smart Cart-applikationen och andra liknande applikationer / In today's society, many things are becoming smarter, mostly with the help of theInternet of Things. Taking a look at smart shopping, several optional ways of shoppinghave been introduced in recent years to enhance and streamline shopping. Some ofthese are online shopping and self-services which include self-checkouts and handheldscanners. This has been a successful approach, which can be seen by the fact that oneof the biggest grocery shopping chains in Sweden called ICA has 1.5 million customersin their loyalty program where around 30% of these use handheld scanners. These30% bring about 60% of ICAs total revenue in some of their biggest stores. However,one of the major challenges with self-services is that they are very expensive, as asystem for an average sized store in Sweden can cost around 1.5 million SEK, whichmakes it difficult for smaller stores to offer this service. A way of combating this couldbe to create a smartphone shopping application (Smart Cart app) with a user-centereddesign, which has a strong likelihood to lower the costs as well as save time. Previousresearch has shown attempts of similar technologies, however, some of these hadlimitations in the presentation of their design and user research. This study aims toexplore the possibility of designing a Smart Cart application prototype with auser-centered approach based on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to extend uponprevious proposals.User data, which has been analyzed to find key points in design, has been gathered bya questionnaire with 275 participants and interviews with 3 people. This data has beenused together with information from a literature review in order to design the SmartCart app prototype, which is a visualisation of the study results. The prototype issupported by an analysis which shows why it is important to involve users in thedesign process and what should be considered when doing so. The study also found adesire for such an app as, for instance, 51.7% of self-scanning customers wouldconsider using it. In addition, results also support that when users accept and arefamiliar with certain functionalities in applications, they are more likely to adopt theapplication. The majority of the participants have a positive attitude towardsapplications in smart shopping and have similar desires of functions and appearance.Lastly, future research is needed on different aspects and point of views for furtherdevelopment of the Smart Cart application and other similar applications.
