Product acquisition represents a complex process that comprises time spent in corridors, product location and checkout queues. On the other hand, it is becoming increasingly difficult for retailers to keep their clients loyal and to predict their needs due to the influence of competition and the lack of tools that discriminate consumption patterns. In this article it is presented the proposal of an architecture and solution of an innovative system for the acquisition of products in grocery stores (Intelligent Cart). The Intelligent Cart explores emerging mobile technologies and automatic identification technologies (such as RFID) as a way to improve the quality of services provided by retailers and to augment the consumer value thus allowing to save time and money. Keywords: Automatic Product Identification; Electronic Services; Grocery Stores, RFID, Intelligent cart. 1. Introduction In recent years a deep structural change has occurred, with consequences on economic growth and society, especially in factors such as territorial occupation, urbanization, openness to global markets, demography, family structures and cultural and consuming patterns.
