              Recent Developments
              • Qualcomm Invests in Smart Shopping Cart Start-Up

                A smart shopping cart is a cart that uses various sensors and algorithms to track and analyze customer behavior throughout their shopping experience. These carts enable retailers to study customer behavior and preferences, as well as track items customers have placed in their baskets. They can even be used to detect when an item has been removed from a basket without being scanned, which can help reduce shoplifting. In addition, these carts also provide retailers with valuable insights regarding customer demographic data, such as the age and gender of shoppers. Qualcomm recently invested in Caper, a company that has developed a “smart cart” for the retail industry. The smart cart integrates Caper's proprietary hardware with Qualcomm's advanced wireless capabilities so that retailers can gain real-time analytics about their customers' buying behaviors. This partnership between Qualcomm and Caper will allow retailers to gain valuable insights into their customers' buying habits while also providing them with the tools they need to improve their operations within the store. The benefits of smart shopping carts are numerous. For example, they enable retailers to provide more personalized experiences for customers by understanding their preferences and tailoring promotions accordingly. Additionally, since these carts are equipped with sensors, they can alert staff when an item needs restocking or other maintenance is required around the store. Finally, by providing insight into customer behavior in real-time, these carts enable stores to make smarter decisions about marketing strategies based on actual data instead of guesswork.
              Strategy Analysis & Recommendation
