AiFi markets NanoStore, a tiny white-label cashierless store

Cashierless stores are all the rage. You need look no further for evidence than Amazon's rapidly expanding Amazon Go chain and the tens of millions of VC dollars startups like Trigo Vision and Zippin have snatched up in the past year. Some, like Grabango, offer plug-and-play systems designed to accommodate warehouse-style installations -- i.e., stores up to 100,000 square feet. But checkout-free platforms come in all shapes and sizes, and retailers on the hunt for tech with a smaller footprint can take advantage of AiFi's latest innovation. AiFi, a Santa Clara startup that emerged from stealth in February and beat out more than 900 submissions in Visa's 2018 Everywhere contest, today unveiled the NanoStore.
