The company is located at Shah Alam, Selangor which is known as the industrial city that planted with most manufacturing company. The company is interested in developing a new product known as CartTech which basically a smart shopping trolley. The main objective is to supply the smart shopping trolleys to the supermarket retailer to ease their shoppers with the grocery shopping.
The smart shopping trolley is a development of an existing shopping trolley in the market that come up with new features with the use of RFID system. CartTech tend to be a smart shopping trolley that is user-friendly than the readily shopping trolley available in the supermarket. The use of RFID system will terminate the application of barcode scanner since it consist of RFID reader and RFID tags that only requires a wave connection to interact. Hence, when a shopper put an item in the shopping trolley, the data of the item is stored in the RFID system and the price and the details of the product will be displayed on the LCD screen. When LCD screen is being attached on the smart shopping trolley, users will no longer worry to look for a barcode scanner machine in the case of missing price tag of an item. It also can help the users in planning budget since it will total up the price of all items in the CartTech. Vroom Sdn. Bhd. also use ZigBee module on the smart shopping where it functions to store the data transmitted by the RFID system to the main computer at the payment cashier. Therefore, the process of scanning each item in the shopping trolley is skipped since the data of the item is already stored. Hence, users will only need to prepare on the payment amount and reduce the time taken during the groceries shopping activities.
