McFadyen Digital, a provider of e-commerce and online marketplace solutions, has introduced a popup autonomous retail-as-a-service platform known as Cartable with applications for retail, grocery, B2B and military verticals.
«This popup autonomous store model provides an unprecedented opportunity to offer a unique level of convenience that differentiates from what Amazon and the other big players are offering,» Tom McFadyen, CEO of McFadyen Digital, said in the press release. «This flexible combination of online connectivity, on-demand product offerings and locker pickup means that autonomous storefronts can be available wherever needed.»
Cartable presents an opportunity for a quickly deployable, staff-less popup retail store that can offer services such as configurable in-stock convenience items, e-commerce order delivery, secure lockers and reverse logistics in a go-anywhere format. It is designed to streamline the last mile in a self-sustained, unmanned and an easily portable platform.
Cartable integrates with existing infrastructure for catalogs, payments, merchandising and analytics. The storefront options are configurable to serve multiple applications and provides unique branding, merchandising and digital signage applications.
