H2O is a multi-billion dollar Japanese retail conglomerate. It operates around 150 Oasis and Izumiya supermarkets, concentrated in the Kansai region.

The Imagr system is currently being trialled as an experiment to the public in the first of H2O’s 150 stores. The Imagr system was set up without ever needing to close the store. Imagr Brand Ambassadors will work with Oasis staff onsite to ensure the customer journey is supported while the system is introduced and adopted by customers.

Size: ~9,000sqft (~850sqm)
SKUs: ~8,000
Location: Osaka, Japan

How does it work for H2O?

● Customers pair and shop with carts via Imagr’s app

How does it work for Imagr?
