Checkers Smart A.I Trolley

Checkers just rolled out South Africa’s first Xpress Trolley—a smart cart that lets you scan, bag, get real-time spend totals, and even pay right from your trolley screen. Talk about flipping the script on queuing!

Checkers have already been dominating the retail space been the first to do the door-to-door delivery, capturing more of the market as their competitors seem to be struggling to keep doors open.

As Neil Schreuder, The Shoprite Group of Companies Innovation Chief, put it: “Smart trolleys aren’t about novelty… they’re about giving shoppers real-time control, creating a compelling shopping experience.” (shopriteholdings.co.za)

What’s next if every supermarket gets this tech? Ismaeel’s take: Retail tech isn’t just fancy—it’s the new table stakes.

What do you think this means for South African retail innovation?
