The new AI technology will confirm that Sam’s Club members paid for their items before they leave instead of having an employee scan the cart and mark a receipt at the door, USA Today reported.

The feature has been installed at 120 stores or about 20% of locations, Walmart said in a news release.

Walmart said AI has helped members leave the warehouse stores 23% faster than before, USA Today reported.

“I’m incredibly proud of the innovation and dedication of our team to deploy this member experience technology at scale,” said Todd Garner, chief product officer, Sam’s Club. “Both exit technology and Scan & Go are driving new levels of convenience and raising member satisfaction among members. What distinguishes Sam’s Club from our competitors is our ability to seamlessly deploy this technology at scale across our nearly 600 clubs nationwide. Whether it’s a single item or a cartful, we’re revolutionizing the checkout experience.”

The new plan for Sam’s Club was introduced in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, USA Today reported.

Walmart hopes to have the new technology at all of its Sam’s Club locations by the end of the year.
