| Title | Shop&Go | ||
| Supervisor | O. Ait Mohamed | ||
| Description | Shop&Go is a smart shopping cart that integrates technology used on the checkout service and a personal smartphone app. The goal is that as users scan items, the app provides real-time feedback, updates, and insights, allowing customers to stay aware of their choices and spending. In the context of the current economic situation, it could help users keep track of their expenses during the item selection in real-time rather than discovering the total only at the checkout. It allows customers to scan items which will be appearing on the app, showing the total price. Security measures will be made to ensure that the client does not steal items or the cart itself, ensuring the peace of mind for store owners. The app also includes features like an item locator, special offers in the form of notifications, and budget tracking, helping users stay within their budget and suggesting cheaper alternatives for scanned items. For security reasons, an admin section on the app will be used by store owners and employees in order to locate carts, payment status and flagged customers. | ||
