## About Imagr

VC Fund · Auckland, New Zealand

We have built the first vision-only, white-label autonomous checkout solution that retailers can own, operate and scale themselves. Imagr is designed to layer into any supermarket, with no store fit-outs required.The Imagr system is an end-to-end autonomous checkout solution that enables retailers to automate the checkout in their supermarket.The system consists of a mobile Imaging Station - this utilizes our machine learning platform to image products and load them into our system so they are ready to be recognised when put into the trolley. Shopping trolleys fitted with the Halo (home to the lights and cameras that drive our AI platform) recognise items as they go in and out of the trolley without the need for barcodes. A retailers app, retailers can track shopping sessions and manage trolleys. And a shoppers app, for customers to pair with the trolleys, track shopping sessions and checkout. All parts of the Imagr system are designed and built in house by Imagr.
