Checkout-free technology lets you reassign your checkout staff to higher-value tasks including personalized customer service, picking items for curbside pickup or delivery, and more.
Zippin’s platform tracks all of your inventory. Customers and retailers know exactly what item is on each shelf in real-time. Now you can easily give customers directions for where to find products.
Zippin provides out-of-stock alerts, making restocking easier than ever. Store staff or direct suppliers simply walk in with products and place them on shelves. The Zippin system provides verification and stock transfer automatically.
Retailers receive detailed analytics for deeper customer insights, including time spent looking at a product, whether a shopper looked at marketing signage, which products were picked, and which products were put back on the shelf.
Retailers save on store operating costs, as they do not have to dedicate staff to manage checkout, or allocate expensive real estate for cash registers and lines. This dramatically increases their margins.

Checkout-free stores are significantly more efficient to operate, making it possible for retailers to open more stores in more locations. Zippin’s platform gives stores the ability to serve as micro-fulfillment centers for e-commerce, enabling a truly multi-channel experience.
Unlike other technology solutions, which rely solely on camera-based systems, Zippin fuses information from multiple sensors, including cameras and shelf sensors, resulting in higher accuracy. We deploy our AI algorithms on small edge devices in stores, requiring lower internet bandwidth.
Zippin does not impose any limits on the maximum number of customers that can shop simultaneously in the store, unlike other technology solutions that struggle to maintain accuracy and keep track of items when the store gets crowded.
By using commodity hardware we keep costs low for retailers. Related support and maintenance costs are also low due to the fact that non-functioning components can be easily and readily replaced.
Zippin uses off-the-shelf components making hardware installation simple, and without placing a burden on store owners. Most hardware can be installed within a day or two in the store. Zippin works with existing store formats, existing shelving and coolers, and standard power supply and internet connections.
All of our sensors are powered using power over ethernet (POE), significantly reducing the installation labor to wire them. A single CAT6 cable supplies both power and data to all of our sensors.
By eliminating the need for servers or desktops, we have also eliminated the need for expensive system administration contracts. There’s no need to build out a separate server room or rack. All Zippin hardware is managed in the cloud with state-of-the-art cloud monitoring software and alerts.
Shoppers can shop anonymously in our stores thanks to multiple layers of privacy protection. Once the shopper has selected the item they want, they can put it in their shopping bag, purse or pocket. This allows for a level of discreteness and privacy, that may be desired, e.g. if they are buying personal hygiene products, etc.
With Zippin, you will always know where your products are located in the store, even if they have been inadvertently put in the wrong location. As a result, you can offer your customers turn-by-turn directions to an item’s exact location.
Zippin’s platform allows customers to pay for their purchases through credit card terminals in store or through their App on the phone. In addition, we provide payment APIs that can be integrated into the retailer’s application.
With some solutions, retailers have to ship products off-site so each SKU can be scanned, indexed, and added to the platform’s database. With Zippin, retailers can add new products to their store instantly, saving time to deploy and making it easy to add new SKUs.
