About
Introducing the Husky Intelligent Fridge - the next generation intelligent fridge for cashless, unattended, and checkout-free retailing. Husky can integrate with the M&S App or customers can just tap their debit card, open the door, grab and go. All in a few seconds, without queuing. With the M&S App, customers start with a quick one time registration. During registration the customer links their payment details and registers their identification. After identification, the door will unlock and products can be taken out of the fridge. Now the customer can select anything from the fridge that they like and just take it out. The fridge automatically detects which products are taken out once the door is closed and the corresponding amount will be charged to the customer’s account. The 'back office' management dashboard captures customer data, best selling products , gross margin, revenues, fridge inventory in real time, and best before dates to help reduce food waste. M&S can communicate with customers to build trust and loyalty, and in turn, leverage sales.
