What motivated me

I dread going grocery shopping and these 2 separate apps made it even more painful

Wegmans has an app where you can add your grocery list and it will tell you where to find each product. They also have a Scan app which allows you to scan your items in as you shop.

Scan as you shop

The experience

Checking out quickly is awesome. The shopping experience could use some work

Since you scan as you go, all you need to do is stop at the self checkout for less than 20 seconds to transfer your order and pay for your groceries. The grocery list app is separate though, so you need to repeat this flow over and over and over and over and over.

Creating digital shoppings lists is tediuous and it's hard to find what I need in the store

Current process

Adding to your digital shopping list is repetitive and time consuming

New process

Save time with bulk actions

Add your entire list and let the app choose items for you based on your preferences.

Use AR to find things easier

Other companies have used low energy Bluetooth beacons to accomplish this. Since users will already have their cameras open to scan items, why not help them even more by showing exactly where the items are?

Scan and move on to the next item

The app will guide you around the grocery store until you've added everything from your grocery list.
