Zippin (vCognition Technologies Inc.) builds a checkout-free, cashierless retail platform that uses computer vision, sensor fusion and machine learning to let shoppers enter a store with an app, credit card or campus credential, take what they want and leave without a checkout line. The company sells store formats including the Zippin Retrofit, Zippin Lane, Zippin Walk-Up, Micromarket Lite and Zippin Outdoors, and operates in stadiums, arenas, airports, hotels, theme parks, college campuses and convenience retail. Its integration surface is the Zippin Gateway, an API framework the company says connects the platform to more than 25 third-party systems — payment gateways, loyalty and gift programs, campus card providers, inventory systems, POS and self-service beverage hardware — alongside a Store Dashboard whose Reports Dashboard data can also be pulled through a REST API with nested JSON payloads. Founded by veterans of Amazon and SRI, Zippin is headquartered in San Francisco.
