Press Release: Aila Technologies Brings the Future of Grocery Technology to Shop.org

Aila Technologies to demonstrate how personalization in grocery technology improves the customer experience and leads to greater profits for retailers at Shop.org in Los Angeles, September 25-27, 2017.

Aila Technologies will demonstrate the future of the grocery shopping experience in the curated Technology Laboratory at the 2017 Shop.org retail technology trade show.

With Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods and mass retailers like Walmart and Target continuing to gain in the food and beverage space, leading grocers understand the imperative to develop and implement solutions that will help increase both customer loyalty and profitability. To accomplish these goals, retailers are seeking technology that can capture data to better understand shopper behavior and drive enhanced, personalized customer experiences that will resonate both online and in-store.

A flexible and functional in-store digital infrastructure is integral to delivering this experience, rendering discrete, standalone hardware devices obsolete. Aila Technologies is facilitating this transformation with powerful, connected in-store hardware solutions that are equipped to handle an array of critical needs.

Aila is working with major retailers throughout the US on must-have customer-facing digital tools, such as price checkers and custom ordering kiosks for the deli and bakery departments. These consumer-friendly touch points provide a personalized experience for shoppers and bring rich data to the grocer. At Shop.org, Aila will be showing next-gen solutions that enable new and valuable experiences for the customer, while also helping solve real problems like improving associate efficiency, reducing the shrinkage of perishable goods, streamlining checkout, optimizing custom ordering and price checking, and more.

There is urgent demand for more powerful, connected, and simplified in-store infrastructure. Designed with these needs in mind, Aila’s Interactive Kiosk elevates traditional price checkers to enable revenue generating capabilities such as custom ordering in the brick-and-mortar retail environment. Aila’s Interactive Kiosk readies iOS-based tablets for retail deployment by pairing industry-leading integrated scanning technology with a sleek and secure enclosure that can replace all customer facing screens in the store, from the humble price checker to the point-of-sale register.

Aila’s Mobile Imager is a handheld device with the market’s thinnest form factor for iOS devices (iPods and iPhones), also incorporating Aila’s proprietary TrueScan™ image-capture technology. Designed for associate use, the Mobile Imager offers true one-handed scanning for click-and-collect, inventory, product look-ups, and other related tasks.
