Under the agreement, Trigo's AI-powered solutions for autonomous shopping will be available on Google Cloud, and teams from both companies will partner to help retail businesses transition to AI-powered autonomous stores.
Trigo's privacy-by-design solution uses AI-powered computer vision technologies together with off-the-shelf hardware to retrofit existing grocery stores with autonomous capabilities. The company applies its proprietary algorithms to ceiling-mounted cameras which automatically learn and upload data on shoppers' movements and product choices, enabling customers to simply walk into a store, pick up their desired items, and walk out without stopping at the checkout. Payments and receipts are settled digitally.
"Trigo's work with Google Cloud shows how the world's top grocery retailers digitize, innovate, deliver exceptional experiences for their customers, and compete in an increasingly crowded and growing marketplace," said Trigo co-founder and CEO Michael Gabay.
"Technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and IoT are helping retailers deliver exciting, new experiences for consumers," said Paul Tepfenhart, Director, Global Retail Solutions at Google Cloud. "We're delighted that Trigo is bringing its retail solutions to Google Cloud, and we look forward to partnering with Trigo to help retailers accelerate their adoption of these capabilities."
