Tesco Adds In-App Shopping List to ‘Scan as You Shop’ Solution

The new shopping list feature helps customers plan their in-store shopping more efficiently by organising lists by aisle, showing stock levels, and automatically ticking off items as they scan them.

Tesco has introduced a new in-app shopping list feature for its Scan as You Shop solution, enhancing the in-store experience for customers across the UK. 

The feature lets customers build a shopping list directly in the Tesco app before heading to the store. Upon arrival, they can unlock a handset using their Clubcard and access their list under the “List” tab, automatically ticking off items as they scan. 

Here’s how it works: 

Customers build an in-store shopping list on the Tesco app (find it in the in-store section). They head to the scanner wall and unlock their handset with a Clubcard in the Tesco app (no sign-up required).

They then tap the List tab to see their shopping list and tick items off automatically as they scan. People can order it by aisle number and see stock levels for each item. 

The aim here is to help customers remember everything they came to buy and be more efficient with their route around the store, saving time and avoiding the frustration of forgetting that one thing they came in to get.

In a LinkedIn post, Nazma Ali, Head of Product at Tesco, said, “We have lots planned in this area, so watch this space. Massive thanks to the brilliant teams across Product, Engineering, Data and Design, who helped bring this to life, and to all our list-building customers for the feedback so far.”

“Excited to see how our roadmap evolves in this part of the store shopping trip.”
