Scan it And Scoot: Instant Shopping Coming Soon from JumpQ
Mobile point-of-sale pioneer, JumpQ is getting a jump on the digitization of the supermarket with a hot new app launching mid August.
Claiming that it will revolutionize the way people shop and interact at the neighborhood store, “Our aim is to allow customers to spend less time waiting in lines and let them get back to the things they’d rather be doing,” said Jason Musyj, Founder of JumpQ. “The level of convenience that users have grown accustomed to from their e-commerce experiences has not translated over into offline shopping, and our goal is to completely redefine the traditional shopping experience.”
The app works by letting customers “Pay Ahead” using their smart-device. Customers take a photo of the items they want and then they can pay for those items through their mobile device as well; all of which adds up to much less time waiting in lines allowing for a much better experience overall.
The JumpQ app will launch August 15th, 2014 and will be available on both Apple and Android App Stores. JumpQ makes the entire shopping experience better for both shopper and merchant. Barcode scanning is built into the mobile app and allows for instant item identification through mobile cameras. The App’s coordination of incredibly fast, dynamic and vast product catalogues allow merchants to price their goods in the most effective ways ever.
JumpQ has incorporated the popular Square card reader APIs which automatically connect with merchants’ Square accounts, in order to cast a wider net attracting smaller local merchants wishing to be part of the growing trend towards integrating the online experience into the offline store.
Considering that there has been a lack of any real exciting upgrades to the whole shopping experience for a few decades, any change would come along invitingly. JumpQ however, has brought in a wave of exciting new shopping possibilities, and is likely to take the boredom out of waiting in the meat and dairy isles for good.
