Comparison of efficiency between unmanned supermarket and vending machine

In December 2016, the global e-commerce giant Amazon launched the Amazon Go unmanned convenience store, which caused a sensation in the industry. It quickly made the headless Chinese Internet community find a life-saving straw, 'Haha, you can burn money again!' Recently, Jack Ma threw a long-planned big bomb, and the 'unmanned retail store' landed. Everyone exclaimed: Jack Ma's brilliance has come true! Cutting down costs, improving convenience and efficiency, and improving modernity are the essence of modern business. The general trend of retail business intelligence automation is unstoppable. Without intelligence, automation, and unmanned, there will be no new retail as Jack Ma said! At the same time, some people in the industry believe that Jack Ma's unmanned store is only a semi-finished product in the trial stage, and the prospects are unpredictable. Recently, a senior retailer put forward his own point of view. Compared with unmanned supermarkets, vending machines that have become mature are more efficient and more value-added. First of all, vending machines can solve the problems that unmanned convenience stores have to solve. The reasons are as follows: vending machines are faster and easier, and they can protect customer privacy. Under the super camera of the unmanned store, a small enclosed space seems more suitable for bank ATMs, which is very depressing! Secondly, vending machines are easier to maintain. There is no case in the vending machine that the shelves are messed up by customers, and there is no need to organize the shelves, only replenishment. As for unmanned convenience stores, after more than a dozen customers choose their products, they are in a mess. Compared with unmanned supermarkets, vending machines have higher floor efficiency and lower rents. It is easier to guard against theft, and the investment is lower. All the places next to the vending machines have become free 'in-store purchase areasAnd in terms of functions, payment, pick-up, face-swiping, hand-swiping, phone-swiping, and card-swiping can all be realized. The unmanned convenience store preached: 'Develop multiple profit channels such as operating income, advertising income, consumer finance, etc. on the basis of the original distribution, so as to achieve performance growth.' I personally feel that vending machines can be realized as well. Unmanned convenience stores exploded intensively in 2017: on the one hand, the continuous iterative Internet of Things technology, face recognition technology, and mobile payment technology provide technical support for unmanned convenience stores; on the other hand, rising labor costs and consumption Consumers’ increasing demand for shopping convenience and increasingly fierce competition in the industry have made the industry test the waters. How do we consider a new model? When the market demand is consistent, efficiency is the decisive factor! Therefore, compared with unmanned convenience stores, vending machines are obviously more efficient, and we need to vigorously develop and promote them! With the application of various new technologies, vending machines can also tap more added value. The above information is provided by vending machine manufacturers. Please mark the reprint.
