DUMAC and TRUNO help unlock AI-powered smart
carts for grocers of all sizes across North America
SAN
FRANCISCO, Jan. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/
-- Instacart (NASDAQ: CART), the leading grocery technology
company in North America, today
announced new partnerships with two leading point-of-sale (POS)
providers: DUMAC Business Systems, a leading POS solutions provider
for independent grocery and convenience stores, and TRUNO Retail
Technology Solutions, a leading provider powering over 13,000
retail locations across North
America. Through these new partnerships, DUMAC and TRUNO
will offer Caper Carts - Instacart's AI-powered smart carts - to
their grocer networks, providing end-to-end POS integration from
sales through implementation.
Caper Carts transform the in-store shopping experience by
letting customers automatically scan items as they shop, track
spending for budget management, and easily access discounts
directly on the cart. DUMAC and TRUNO provide a turnkey service,
including Caper Cart referrals, implementation, maintenance, and
ongoing technical support – creating a streamlined path for grocers
to bring smart carts to their stores.
"Grocers are the backbone of communities across the U.S., and
we're committed to getting them the tools and technology they need
to succeed," said Nick Nickitas,
General Manager of Local Independent Grocery at Instacart. "By
teaming up with established POS leaders like DUMAC and TRUNO,
we're making it easier than ever for grocers of all sizes to
partner with Instacart, unlocking a modern shopping experience with
Caper Carts while serving their communities."
"As a company committed to empowering independent retailers,
DUMAC is excited to partner with Instacart to deliver Caper to our
network of grocers," said Rory
McCarthy, Chief Operating Officer of DUMAC. "With our
successful implementation at Geissler's Supermarket, we've seen
firsthand how this partnership allows us to offer our customers
innovative in-store tech that not only grows baskets and increases
affordability, but also delivers the personalized shopping
experience that today's customers demand. By offering Caper Carts
as part of our retail technology portfolio, we're helping grocers
enhance their stores and compete effectively in the evolving retail
landscape."
"TRUNO has long been at the forefront of retail technology
solutions, and we're proud to now offer Instacart's Caper Carts to
our retail partners," said Steven
Watters, President at TRUNO." As we actively roll out this
technology across our network, we're making it possible for
independent retailers to provide seamless, AI-powered shopping
experiences that drive customer loyalty and business growth. Our
deep implementation expertise combined with Instacart's innovation
creates an exciting new offering for the retailers we serve."
This partnership also opens up opportunities to bring additional
Instacart Connected Stores technologies to independent retailers –
including FoodStorm and Carrot Tags – continuing to power
innovation and growth opportunities for retailers across the
grocery ecosystem.
