At a glance, the Couche-Tard in the Bronfman Building looks much like any other. But it is actually an innovative research facility that uses technology to improve our understanding consumer behaviour. Known as the聽Retail Innovation Lab, a partnership between 麻豆AV鈥檚 Bensadoun School of Retail Management and Alimentation Couche-Tard,聽it is the first frictionless store in Canada. At the Retail Innovation Lab, computer vision systems recognize grab-and-go items in real time, and payments are processed digitally, so customers can shop quickly. But while the data collected reflects the behaviour of actual shoppers, the Lab uses blurred personalization models that don鈥檛 use facial recognition, record names or log credit card numbers.
