Mashgin

Mashgin is a computer vision checkout system for retail and food service counters. Customers place items on a tray, the system identifies them without barcodes or scanning, and the customer pays by tapping a card or device. The vendor states that recognition takes under half a second and runs locally on the hardware. It is aimed at venues where lines form at peak times, including stadiums and arenas, universities, hospitals, airports, convenience stores and grocery shops. The vendor positions it as a way to raise throughput per cashier while keeping a face to face checkout, with staff still present at the counter. The platform includes realtime cloud reporting, tagging and grouping of items, a developer API for deeper analysis, and integrations with existing point of sale systems. New items can be added to the recognition library by the operator in a matter of seconds. Mashgin sells to businesses rather than individuals, and sign in is offered to existing customers. Pricing is not published on the site; prospective buyers use the Request Demo option to get a quote for hardware and service.
