A sixth REWE Pick & Go will soon open in Hamburg, Germany.
In a LinkedIn post, Prof. Dr. Stephan Rüschen of Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University, said: “My business students from the DHBW Heilbronn were allowed to help with the testing on the excursion to Hamburg. We tried out many shopping scenarios...And that's more than you think.”
He added: “Many thanks to Alina Klüger from the REWE team for this insight 'Behind the Scenes'. Note: Actually, it's already the seventh, but the store at Cologne's Heumarkt was closed a few months ago.”
Trigo
In July, REWE Group reported that another location in Hamburg had launched Pick&Go.
Powered by Trigo technology, the store, which clocks in at 1.200 square metres in floor space and features 20.000 items, is pitched as Europe’s largest computer vision-based supermarket.
It is also the first REWE Pick&Go store in northern Germany, and offers four ways to pay for purchases: cashless via Pick&Go via app; scanning and paying at the self-checkout terminal; shopping via computer vision support without scanning at the self-checkout terminal; standard payment process at the cash register.
A highlight is that the Pick&Go system now also covers the service counter for the first time.
Customers have the opportunity to purchase fresh meat, cheese and sausage products without having to wait at the checkout afterwards.
In a LinkedIn post, Anika Vooes, Chief Acceleration Manager at REWE Digital, said: “This is another example of how we master complexity with cross-functional collaboration and a dedicated team.”
“Congrats to the Pick&Go team and REWE Region North. Stay tuned - the next Hamburg store will be opening soon.”
