Hudson, the retail company, announced that it will implement Amazon's Just Walk Out technology at a number of its locations, including its Dallas Love Field Airport store.
Following the implementation of the Just Walk Out technology at its Dallas location, Hudson will integrate it into more North American locations in 2021. With the technology, consumers will be able to pay using their credit card, and simply leave the store with the items they wish to purchase. The technology will also help reduce contact between people during the pandemic and may provide a safer shopping experience.
"Today's traveler is progressively more connected, mobile, and time sensitive — and they have higher expectations for convenience, safety, and speed during their shopping experiences," said Brian Quinn, the executive vice president and CEO of Hudson.
