Abstract
In one implementation, a system for providing product suggestions to provide to a customer during a checkout process at a retail store includes a checkout configuration that includes a point of sale terminal, a scanner to scan products, a scanning preparation area where products to be scanned are positioned, and a customer-facing device. The system can further include one or more product sensors to capture and transmit product signals. The system can also include a product identification system that is programmed to identify the products contained in the scanning preparation area. The system can further include a product recommendation engine that is configured to identify contents of a customer cart from the products contained in the scanning preparation area; determine product recommendations based, at least in part, on the contents of the customer cart; and transmit the product recommendations to the customer-facing device for display to the user.
