Żabka Polska, the biggest convenience store chain in Poland and across Central and Eastern Europe, has teamed up with Microsoft and its 10 partners – seven of which are Polish – to create what it is calling the shop of the future.
Making use of cutting-edge technology, the shops will offer price analysis systems, digital signage, smart-shelves, and self-service check-outs using AI based, video verification.

“We are proud of being able to support Żabka on its journey into the future,” added Michel van der Bel, vice president of Microsoft for Europe, the Middle East and Africa. “We are also proud to see how Microsoft technologies and partner solutions provided adequate response to customer expectations and model the shopping experience of tomorrow.
