This ecommerce startup hopes to eliminate line ups when shopping with smart anti-theft measures and a self-service checkout system. New venture QueueHop has an objective to "revolutionize your retail shopping experience" with radio-frequency identification (RFID) security tags, QR code scanning and on-the-go checkout.
Using their smartphones, customers will be able to use QueueHop to check themselves out by locating the RFID apparel tags and scanning their QR code. The application will also allow users to browse the wares of participating shops and receive personalized suggestions and discounts. The app is not yet available, but is coming soon according to QueueHop's website.
Their self-service checkout method combines the convenience and speed of online shopping with the experience of brick and mortar stores.
