Grabango, a venture-backed startup that was vying to take on Amazon in cashierless checkout technology, is shutting down after it was unable to raise enough money to stay afloat. Based in Berkeley, California, Grabango was seen as one of the primary rivals to Amazon's cashierless checkout offering, called Just Walk Out. Amazon in April pulled its cashierless checkout technology from its U.S. Fresh stores and Whole Foods supermarkets. Glaser said Grabango eschewed shelf sensors in favor of computer vision which put it on a path for "widespread adoption."

The company launched its first Amazon Go convenience store featuring a new kind of technology, called "Just Walk Out." In 2020, the company began licensing Just Walk Out technology to third parties, signing on retailers in stadiums, airports and hospitals. The company discontinued some of its retail chains, closed eight Amazon Go stores, and hit pause on new Fresh store openings. While it's no longer featuring Just Walk Out as prominently in its own stores, Amazon says it has inked deals with a growing list of customers. Amazon in July updated the AI system behind its Just Walk Out technology to handle all the inputs in a store simultaneously.

"Consistent with our ongoing strategy to continually look for new ways to meet our customers' value and convenience needs, we recently piloted a store with frictionless technology," Dollar General told Insider. Dollar General has faced labor shortages.
