ADNOC Distribution, the UAE’s largest fuel convenience retailer, has announced that it will launch their next generation retail experience: a fully autonomous and contactless and cashier-less ADNOC Oasis store.
It offers new, state-of-the-art cashless and contactless payment system and an AI technology enhanced shopping environment.
You'll no longer have to queue or wait for staff to become free, and unlike existing
self-service terminals in retail outlets, there’s no need to scan items. All you have to do is tap in with a bank card, Emirates ID, or scan the QR code, pick up the items you need and then simply walk out.
Payment is taken once you leave the store, either through the app or
the bank card you used, with all details of purchase stored in the app or through
an e-receipt.
Every shelf in the store is equipped with an electronic LED screen that digitally displays the price as well as any current promotions. Offers and promotions will also be added and updated in real time, with prices adjusted accordingly ensuring you get the best deals as they become available.
Where previous technology has only used cameras to track customers throughout the store, the new ADNOC Oasis also utilises cutting-edge technology via weight sensors on shelves, enabling both camera and weight sensing information to more accurately track what you are buying and ensure a speedy shopping experience.
In addition to picking up snacks or essentials, another unique offering at ADNOC Go stores will be the opportunity to grab fresh coffee and food. You'll also be able to shop as a family using a single QR code for entry. Once the family members have scanned the code and entered the store, you'll be tracked as a group and all items taken from the shelves by anyone in the group will be added to a single virtual basket.
The first new generation store has been opened at ADNOC’s Sheikh Khalifa Energy Complex, where employees have exclusive access to try out the store, before the new ADNOC Oasis concept is more widely rolled out in the UAE.
