“Our vision is to ensure that waiting in queues (in supermarkets) is a thing of the past. With improved systems, we are saving the customer’s time and thus improving the overall experience. We have started by enabling self- checkouts via our mobile app at various retail stores such as HyperCITY,” said Abhinav Pathak, CEO, Perpule.
