Loop Insights enters into five-store pilot with Canadian grocer Sobeys to deliver digital receipts via its Wallet Pass technology

Loop Insights Inc (CVE:MTRX) (OTCQB:RACMF), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (AI) to drive real-time insights, has entered into a five-store pilot with Sobeys, Canada’s second-largest grocer.  In a statement Thursday, Loop said it will provide Sobeys with its Insights and Engage platforms, including its new digital receipt capability, as well as its Wallet pass technology. “Loop Insights’ diverse suite of services was an obvious fit for Sobeys as we look to drive consumer engagement and close gaps in our personalization of the customer experience,” said Bruce Burrow, SVP and chief information officer for Sobeys. “By testing Loop’s Fobi device in our retail operations, we hope to connect more directly with customers while returning AI-driven insights to optimize our retail operations.” READ: Loop Insights successfully deploys biggest venue bubble platform at NCAA's Big West Conference Championship in Las Vegas Loop CEO Rob Anson added: “Signing this five-store pilot agreement with Sobeys, which generates over $28 billion in annual sales from more than 1,400 stores under various banners across Canada, is another clear indication of the power of Loop’s enterprise-level services, including Engage, Insights and our Wallet pass technology. Following our LOI to acquire Passcreator, we now have complete control of our technology, which will allow for customized, large-scale implementations for our clients.” Under the terms of the agreement, Loop said it will deploy its Fobi device at five select Sobeys locations to pilot the onboarding of shoppers to receive electronic receipts. Should the pilot program achieve its desired results, the parties may expand the scope of the relationship to additional Sobeys locations, Vancouver-based Loop said.
