Unmanned store

What industry you work in or what products you sell – it doesn’t matter. We take care of your unmanned store regardless. With our experience since 2015, we can probably promise you that we have helped most people. We help you start your unmanned store – or maybe convert an existing store to a hybrid store.

It doesn’t have to be a grocery store

Many unmanned stores around Sweden sell food and groceries. But our technology can handle any type of goods. So what type of products do you want to sell? Contact us and we’ll help you get started!

There is always a need for food, candy and soft drinks – 24/7. So it’s probably not surprising that grocery stores and vending machines are running unmanned. But we are only at the beginning of the era of unmanned stores, so soon we will see the technology used in most areas. We, HonestBox, already have customers who are using the unmanned technology to, among other things, allow their customers to wash their dogs. Customers can buy screws, tools and other building materials in a hardware store. The sky is the limit! If you have an idea, contact us and we will surely find a solution.

We make it easier to get started

The trend of unmanned stores – stores without staff – is here to stay. More and more people are seeing the opportunities with small stores to serve customers both centrally and in the countryside. We are making it easier to get started.

HonestBox has been working with unmanned stores since 2015 when we started the world sensation Näraffär in Viken, north of Helsingborg. Since then, we have been involved in developing concepts in China, the USA and several European countries.

After boiling down all the lessons learned, we have come up with the easiest way to create a fantastic customer journey in an unmanned store. Fast in and out, low price for the merchant. Technology should be a support, not an expensive obstacle.

Our customers operate unmanned stores

Today, we have customers in several different industries. Next to modern vending machines, the most common is the unmanned store. A traditional grocery store that you recognize from the local neighborhood store or similar – the difference is that it has no cashier – it is unmanned.

Some of our customers have even made it a little smarter by staffing it with a cash register and cashier staff during regular opening hours. When it gets to the evening or the weekend, the store is closed and they go home. When customers come to shop, the customer identifies themselves and then shops alone in the now unmanned grocery store, shoe store or whatever type of store it is.

Unmanned is still a bit scary for some customers and then it is perfect that you can shop just like in a regular store during the day and those who are more comfortable with unmanned can shop at any time of the day.

We hope to see more than just grocery stores powered by our unmanned technology. For example, we currently have a customer who runs a dog wash and sells related products. This was something we didn’t know existed before we first met the customer. This type of business is made possible by unmanned technology from HonestBox, and we hope to see more unexpected uses.

We have run an unmanned store ourselves

In 2015, we started an unmanned store in Viken outside Helsingborg. We would like to say that this was the world's first unmanned app-driven grocery store. At that time, we used an app to identify, control the door and shop with. Today, everything is web-based so the customer is up and running in seconds. It was a good experience to run an unmanned store ourselves. We learned a lot that we take with us today when we help our customers get started with their stores.
