EiraCube is the first fully automated, robotics driven, walk-in retail store shopping experience, complete with display shelving for stock, PoS ordering and payment systems, and completely automated goods dispensing. There is no requirement for staff — every transaction is end-to-end automated and based on the blockchain: from ordering, to payment, to goods retrieval to dispensing to the customer.
EiraCube doubles up as an online ordering point for home delivery, as a ‘click and collect’ collection point, and — fully kitted out with the shopper analysis observational hardware and software — as a shopper analysis tool.
EiraCube is always-on, and so will enable bricks and mortar retailers to compete with the online shopping experience by offering immediate access to instant variety, cross border goods, and an automated shopping experience, combining the best of the offline and online shopping.
For ecommerce merchants, a major drawback is the inability of shoppers to handle goods. This has led to significant problems of returns and re-integrating stock for retailers, costing millions euro each year. By offering shoppers in-store physical access to goods, EiraCube overcomes this ‘touch and feel’ challenge, thereby greatly reducing the very real issue of handling returns, and the significant cost to merchants of returns and reintegrating stock to inventory.
For product owners, SMEs and start-ups, it also makes launching new products into a retail environment much easier, accessible and measurable. EiraCube makes cross border trading much simpler and more cost effective for retailers: EiraCube is a turn-key micro (pop-up) store that allows brands and retailers to quickly gain touch points with consumers in the prime locations with zero permanent staffing requirements, even across borders.
