How it all began

Erez Gur used to own a retail chain of 23 shops in Israel. In one week, 30% of his employees called in sick or absent, and he discovered that three workers had taken products with them without paying. He began to wonder whether it was possible to create a shop without employees, delivery personnel and managers. It would make it so much easier if absence could be reduced to 0%.

Reliable Concept

First he looked into vending machines, but people want to ‘touch and feel’ a product before buying it and this is obviously not possible with vending machines. Thinking out of the box, Erez got in touch with childhood friend who have a lot of experience in algorithms and automation: Prof. Ofer Levi.

Having decided that imitating Amazon Go would not be a good idea – because of the system’s 18% risk of mistakes.

Erez thought about more acceptable solutions. The team went on to create technology with a 100% identification rate, using facial recognition. This system also eliminates ethical problems like discrimination.

Erez Gur sold his retail chain of shops, and invested all the money in concept development, avoiding the need for finding private investors or setting up an investment firm at the seed stage.
