Furthermore, with the Leav platform, retailers can cut minutes from every checkout, making the experience up to 10 times faster. Its simple three-step process enables shoppers to simply scan the item(s) they want to purchase, pay using their preferred credit card, and leave with their purchases in-hand – without having to download any applications.

According to a recent survey from Adyen, a leading payment provider, one of the greatest challenges in retail has always occurred during the checkout process, costing North American retailers an estimated US $21.9 billion. “We believe that the future of retail is in-store, and all one needs to do is enhance the customer experience. Leav does just that and provides retailers the tools to automate low-value tasks to help them focus on what really matters – sales and customer service,” commented Evgeny Grachev, Leav’s Cofounder and Chief Product Officer.
“We are excited to be the first retailer to partner with Leav. The option of self-checkout at some of our stores will enable our sales associates to spend more time helping customers find what they are looking for. As one of Canada’s leading intimate apparel retailers, la Vie en Rose is proud to be the first to go to market with this technologically advanced easy to use platform. It is in line with our values of providing a seamless and effortless experience, where and when customers need it.” François Roberge, President and CEO - la Vie en Rose.
