Hudson, a Dufry company, is rolling out the Amazon One biometric payment solution and “Just Walk Out” frictionless shopping at a new location.
The travel retailer has opened the first Southeast location of its Hudson Nonstop “grab and go” store concept at Nashville International Airport (BNA). Offering just over 1,000sq ft of concession space, the new Nashville location is the first Hudson Nonstop store to exclusively offers food and beverage products.
Upon entering the store, customers swipe their credit card or hover their palm over an Amazon One device. Launched in September 2020, Amazon One is a proprietary technology designed to let customers use their unique palm signature to pay or present a loyalty card at a store, as well as perform activities like entering a stadium or badge into work. The solution uses custom-built algorithms and hardware to create a person’s unique palm signature.
After browsing and selecting goods, shoppers are charged for the products they take after they leave the store. Hudson became the first retailer in the travel vertical to deploy the Amazon One platform when it rolled the solution out at its Hudson Nonstop store in Dallas Love Field Airport in December 2021.
