This useful shopping app concept was developed by Emily Tang as part of a supermarket shopping experience design project. Tang's proposed retail app utilizes beacon technology in order to make the shopping experience as easy as possible.
There are tons of apps that help you make shopping lists on your phone, but when you arrive at the store, actually locating these items can be a challenge. The ParknShop app is set up so that upon arrival to the store, a unique map is generated for you, based on the items on your grocery list. The app makes it easy for you to find all of the items, and even if one of then happens to be out of stock, the app will show you the nearest place you can pick it up.
