Cold Beverage-Locating Apps

The Cool & Go App From Blulog is a Rewarding RFID Tool to Find Drinks

If you need help finding cold beverages, this RFID tool could help. From Blulog, the just-launched Cool & Go app locates cool drinks for shoppers. The new app "uses RFID-based data to give consumers information about products in their area so that they can see what items are nearby, as well as the temperature at which they are being stored." The gamified RFID tool rewards shoppers for scanning QR codes on stores' coolers with puzzle pieces, which can be amassed and redeemed for coupons and prizes.

The mobile application is part of Blulog's larger temperature monitoring system, which also includes QR code tech ColdFinder. This is an example of how RFID (radio frequency identification) technology can be used in supermarkets and grocery stores.
