CBORD announced that it has integrated with Amazon?s Just Walk Out technology at Candler Smart Bytes store at St. Joseph?s/Candler Hospital in Savannah, Georgia, the first hospital store to use the technology in the United States. The integration is also the first to accept employee badges as payment at a checkout-free store, in addition to credit cards.

Just Walk Out technology detects what shoppers take from or return to the shelves and creates a virtual shopping session. When a guest completes their shopping experience, they can simply leave the store without waiting in line, and the purchase amount will be automatically deducted from their payroll deduct account. Shortly after exiting, customers receive an itemized receipt via email.

Guests visiting the Candler Smart Bytes store can enter either with their employee badge or credit card. The CBORD integration also enables retail stores to choose CBORD?s GET app as an entry method. Locations using the app can set a minimum balance for entry, and locations using the ID or employee badge can set a maximum purchasing threshold for checkout.
