&#34;There is nothing more frustrating than roaming through a store unable to find the last item on your grocery list or forgetting the key part needed to complete a home repair,&#34; said David Barker, president, Honeywell Productivity Solutions and Services. &#34;The Smart Shopping Platform addresses these pain points, creating a better experience for shoppers. Retailers also benefit from an &#39;out of the box&#39; AI solution they can implement without having to maintain a team of AI experts.&#34;
The Smart Shopping Platform is a cloud-based solution that creates a seamless connection between a retailer&#39;s digital data and the physical store environment. Built on Honeywell&#39;s Mobility Edge&#x2122; hardware and software platform and enabled by Google Cloud&#39;s AI technologies, it offers personalized guidance, real-time product information and dynamic recommendations that mirror the convenience of online shopping.
&#34;The Smart Shopping Platform uses Google Cloud&#39;s AI to turn Honeywell devices into intelligent companions for both shoppers and staff,&#34; said Jose Gomes, vice president, Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods, Google Cloud. &#34;This collaboration integrates AI with specialized hardware to streamline operations inside the retail store and guide consumers through an efficient and delightful shopping journey. It&#39;s a win-win that helps retailers increase basket size while building deeper customer loyalty.&#34;
When using the platform on a Honeywell for Android device—such as the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://automation.honeywell.com/us/en/campaigns/productivity-solutions/cs32-transforms-store-experience" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CS32 Personal Shopper</a>—consumers can link their loyalty accounts to immediately unlock personalized recommendations based on buying history, stated preferences, complementary products and available discounts and promotions. The Smart Shopping Platform can also provide step-by-step navigation through the store to help customers easily locate everything they wish to buy. If a specific product is out of stock, the system uses AI to suggest relevant alternatives, mirroring the convenience of e-commerce.
The solution also supports retail workers by helping them become in-house experts. Associates equipped with devices like the <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://automation.honeywell.com/us/en/products/productivity-solutions/mobile-computers/handheld-computers/ct70-mobile-computer" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Honeywell CT70</a> can use the Smart Shopping Platform to provide quick, customized guidance and insights to shoppers, helping every employee serve as a subject matter expert. For example, an employee can quickly identify the new location of a customer&#39;s favorite dairy-free cereal in the store. Today, devices like the Honeywell CT70 are used by thousands of retail associates at major grocery chains, big box stores, specialty retailers, department stores and more.
This launch is the result of the ongoing <a xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" href="https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/press/2024/10/honeywell-and-google-cloud-to-accelerate-autonomous-operations-with-ai-agents-for-the-industrial-sector" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">collaboration</a> between Honeywell and Google Cloud to help advance computing across multiple industries. The Smart Shopping Platform will be available to customers beginning in February 2026.
