  • The company’s system immerses the shopper in a shopping experience similar to being in the physical store. Shoppers can see produce themselves, select their purchases and follow the processing of their order in real time
  • The technology is fully integrated into the store’s e-commerce offering and allows large retailers to promote online sales and deepen the emotional bond between customer and brand
  • Minsait's system facilitates online food sales, overcoming the main brake on large-scale online sales: the sale of fresh produce

 

Customer at supermarket

Minsait, an Indra company, has launched the first system for the real-time online sale of fresh produce, allowing the customer to see available produce live on the day with expert advice on-screen for 100% personalized attention at all times. A revolutionary solution that generates consumer confidence by giving the consumer total control over their purchases of fresh produce, ensuring what is delivered is exactly with what was ordered, prepared as specified: No surprises.

The solution uses two systems: a queuing system that allows the customer to get in line just as they would in the physical store; and an online ordering system that remotely connects the consumer with the clerk who will help them and prepare their order. Through artificial vision technology and advanced tracking cameras, able to follow the clerk’s movement and automatically focus on the produce suggested by the clerk, the customer can “live” the experience as if they were in the store.

Built on Minsait's Onesait Platform (its open Internet of Things (IoT) platform of the with Big Data capabilities, formerly known as Minsait IoT Sofia2), the new system is fully integrated into the retailer's e-commerce offering, allowing the customer to order from any of the fresh produce services offered online by the retailer.

Breaking down barriers to the purchase of fresh produce

In Spain, shopping habits are reflected in in-store purchases, where fresh produce accounts for 33% of the shopping cart. However, fresh produce has the lowest online sales, at scarcely over 0.8% of total purchases. This is fundamentally due “to the lack of a digital offer as varied as an in-store offer, and consumers' lack of confidence in online shopping, where they can't control the selection and preparation of produce,” explains Isabel Calafat, Minsait expert in Retail Sales.

To address this problem, Minsait is bringing to market a system that through artificial vision technologies and IoT, “allows the online sale of fresh produce to be humanized, connecting the customer with the store, where they can see the product, select it, and decide how it is prepared,” says the expert, while underlining how the system will help large retailers to promote online sales and deepen the emotional bond between customer and brand.
