Halo is designed to add frictionless checkout capacity without consuming the space required by larger autonomous retail formats.
Halo is MyVenue’s AI-powered frictionless checkout solution for sports and entertainment venues. Guests place their items on the Halo baseplate, confirm the recognised products and complete payment without scanning each product individually.
Completed transaction data exported directly from mvManager shows that Halo delivers a 50% shorter average transaction time than standard kiosks. Results may vary according to basket size, payment method, venue configuration and operating conditions.
Halo uses description-based recognition rather than relying on an extensive catalogue of product photography. This allows operators to register and update products quickly while reducing the work required to maintain product images.
A product can be registered at a Halo location in under 30 seconds. Operators enter the product details, place the item on Halo and complete its registration for recognition.
