It's truly exciting to remove the manual touches and deliver confidential rates in an automated way. We're taking a vital step in connecting CaroTrans to their valued clients while safeguarding data quality as our eSUDS carrier integration and ecosystem growth accelerates," said Neil Barni, Managing Director of CargoSphere.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.
