Hailing an ice cream truck will be so much easier in West Hollywood this summer. Robomart and ice cream provider Unilevern have partnered to offer ice cream selections in WeHo by using the Robomart app to order from a mobile store that comes to your door. The store is a temperature-controlled van that uses Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID)-tagged products that can be monitored in real time for inventory and purchasing data. Known as the Ice Cream Shop, Unilever’s virtual storefront is scheduled to launch this summer.
Unilever will employ Robomart’s fleet of temperature-controlled ice cream trucks. RFID readers and antennas built into the shelves of the vehicles track all products, based on the RFID tag attached to each item. Consumers can hail the mobile store and pay for goods using the Robomart app.
The benefits of having ice cream delivered to your door is that you no longer have to go to the store and have your ice cream melt on the way home. Robomart can deliver ice cream in as little as two minutes. Unilever will deploy a fleet of Ice Cream Robomarts, featuring treats from beloved ice cream brands like Ben & Jerry’s, Breyers, Good Humor, Magnum ice cream and Talenti.
With its patented one-tap grocery ordering technology, consumers can hail The Ice Cream Shop Robomarts to their location using Robomart’s proprietary mobile app. When it arrives, the user swipes across the app to open the vehicle’s door. Robomart’s checkout-free system tracks the items taken and simply charges the credit card on file – no cart, no checkout, no hassle.
