Booths is using the eReceipts technology provided by Paperless Receipts
Booths, the 160 year-old UK supermarket chain, is doing away with till receipts and is instead allowing customers to store them in a "personal cloud".
Booths is using the eReceipts technology provided by Paperless Receipts. The software enables retailers to generate electronic receipts that are sent direct to a customer's cloud-based account.
Shoppers throughout Booths 29 stores will "also be served unique and relevant content", said Booths, using the eReceipts technology that builds detailed data profiles.
The technology is being launched this week as part of the new Booths Card, which will allow customers to access eReceipts via the Booth's website and mobile app, as well as enabling them to analyse their spend according to specific categories. The Booths Card will also offer a "host of other exclusive benefits to customers".
To ensure a smooth transition customers will be able to receive both paper and electronic receipts for "a limited time" while they become accustomed to the software. The ultimate aim is to phase out paper receipts, which will save in the region of 100,000 till rolls each year, says Booths.
Chris Dee, chief operating officer at Booths, said: "We see eReceipts as the future. It's important for our customers to be able to track where their money is spent and this service will allow customers to shop more smartly."
Paperless Receipts CEO Andrew Carroll said: "For a retailer with a turnover in excess of £270 million to adopt the eReceipts platform is a huge vote of confidence in our technology. Our platform would work for any of the ten largest retailers in the UK."
Paperless Receipts says rival systems use email as their distribution service, cluttering up their customers inbox into the bargain. The software sits in the background and is designed not to increase checkout time or affect the performance of till systems.
The data is said to be stored in a secure cloud platform, which is powered by Rackspace and backed up by Amazon Web Services.

Flash back to the classic film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
